Welcome to Maz, Al and Laura's mad dash up a mountain! But not just any mountain, the biggest mountain in the world - MOUNT EVEREST!


In September 2014 Mhairi Jack, Alan Long and Laura Hastings will be making the 18 day trek to to the base camp of Mount Everest in Nepal, all to raise funds for Yorkhill Children's Hospital. This isn't just a Sunday stroll folks, with temperatures in excess of 30 degrees during the day and dropping to minus 10 at night, altitude sickness will be a constant threat as we walk for 6 - 8 hours each day to ascend to a height of 17,598 feet above sea level - that's FOUR times the height of Ben Nevis!!



Along the way we are aiming to raise a whopping £12,000 for Yorkhill Hospital, to fund the incredible work they do and support the daily miracles they perform with sick kids.



This is first post of our journey folks, so add this page to your favourites and follow as we go. And more importantly,

Coffee Morning & Cake Sale - Sat 9th Nov 2013

Coffee/Tea and some delicious home baking??? Yes please. :o)

A coffee morning & cake sale held in the Rankin Church Hall on a miserable November Saturday raised £459.55 for Yorkhill Children's Charity.

There was a truly spectacular array of cakes to be enjoyed. I (yompette) was over-whelmed by the generosity of my family, friends and neighbours. Cakes, scones, pancakes, tombola prizes and donations....thank you so very much.

Thank you to all who turned out, and came in to enjoy some coffee, cake and some witty banter. It may not have been as busy as I hoped. But I still managed to raise a whopping amount for the charity. So everyone who attended really splashed the cash, and it's very much appreciated.
