Alex Wilkie fundraising for St Luke's Charity and Home
On 31st May, I am running my first marathon to raise funds for St Luke's Charity & Home who currently look after my grandmother with dementia. St Luke’s is an organisation that provides vital care and support to those that mean the most to us. Every donation will help support the incredible work they do. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Your support is really appreciated.
