One of our incredible OGs, John Carnegie, sadly lost his friend and fellow OG, Euan MacDonald, to Motor Neurone Disease last year. In memory of Euan, John is currently taking on the amazing challenge of completing 50 climbs in 50 days to raise funds for the charity Euan founded.

This is a truly inspiring cause, and we are so proud of the incredible things our OGs are doing. Please consider supporting John by donating to his JustGiving page and helping him reach his fundraising target for this important cause.

John is also sharing updates on his journey through his Instagram page, where you can see stunning photos of the views and get a sense of how much this means to him. Please do follow and share his page to help raise awareness and support this fantastic initiative.

Thank you for your generosity! https://www.justgiving.com/page/john-carnegie-clamberingforeuansguide

 

Taken from the Just Giving page:

'Last summer I lost an old friend, Euan MacDonald, to Motor Neuron Disease which he contracted aged 29. Despite the cruelty of this disease Euan led a full life, and created a number of amazing legacies. One of those is Euan's Guide - Disabled Access Reviews. I am planning to run or clamber up Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh, fifty times in fifty days as a tribute to Euan who died aged 50. I started this endeavour on January 6 2025 and despite some occasional inclement weather and brushes with injury I should complete it on 25 February. All monies raised will go directly to Euan’s Guide. It is a charity I know well and the team, who are mostly based in Edinburgh, are superb. Euan’s Guide is a charity helping many people with access problems (they could be in a wheelchair, but it might equally be just old age) find a café, restaurant, theatre, outdoor experience or just simply a pub that is easy to access and where the staff are accommodating to those with access challenges. Thank you for your support.'
