The feet of a Scottish family achieved the feat of earning over a thousand pounds for our charity.

They took part in the 14.5 mile ‘Big Stroll’ Kiltwalk in Glasgow, starting at Clydebank and at Balloch.

They were inspired by young Callum who has familial aniridia. It was his sister Mollie that chose to support Aniridia Network by tackling the walk. On 26 April 2025 She along with Craig and Katie took on the challenge. Together they walked for 5 hours. Callum himself joined for the last half mile. It was a proud moment for Mollie to cross the finish line with him beside her.

A big well done and thank you to all of them, plus everyone who sponsored them.

The donations will go towards events our conferences and our grants for research into aniridia. The aim is to help people like Callum and his family be confident, hopeful and well informed about aniridia.

What can you do to support Aniridia Network? Think what you can do to fundraise or volunteers for our charity to help Callum and others.

Kiltwalk

Kiltwalk is Scotland’s largest mass participation walking event with over 178,000 people taking part since 2016.

At this event there were 5,000 heroes.

Sir Tom Hunter said:

“In the 10 years that The Hunter Foundation has been involved with Kiltwalk, you and our Foundation have raised an incredible £53 million for 4,000 Scottish charities.

“I believe the magic of Kiltwalk is quite simple: in every community across Scotland, there are people who need a wee hand up, and there are good folks like you who get up in the morning and help them. All the Kiltwalk does is simply connect you. There isn’t a prouder Scotsman on the planet than me this morning.”
