My Inspiration & Previous Experience
My Inspiration & Previous Experience
Throughout my career, the clubs I played for always arranged hospital visits during the Christmas period. These were days I both looked forward to and feared. I never knew what to expect or how I would be affected emotionally. I was anxious, uncertain of how to process what I was about to see, and I often questioned whether the cuddly toys we handed out truly made a difference in these children’s lives.
I remember visiting the children's cancer ward in Edinburgh while playing for Hibernian, an experience filled with both happiness and great sadness. I left feeling that I had made a difference, putting smiles on young faces, but deep down, I knew it was only momentary.
A simple club shirt, calendar, or soft toy worth just a few pounds never felt like enough. It was a short-term gesture for a much bigger challenge. It was all I had to offer at the time—but now, I am in a position to do more.
I am passionate about creating meaningful, lasting change. I don’t want to contribute once a year for an hour—I want to build something that leaves a lifetime impact.
Over the years, I have participated in charity runs, golf days, and fundraising events. While these have been rewarding, they have never fully satisfied my desire to make a lasting impact. The money raised and the generosity shown never quite put a dent in the challenges I wanted to overcome. Constantly asking friends and family for donations carried its own pressures and limitations.
This has led me to reconsider how to approach fundraising more effectively—reaching a wider audience and a larger network. And with that in mind, I now feel I am finally onto something great…
