Transcript

00:00 My name's Sorley and I'll be running the half marathon at the Great Scottish Run.

00:03 Hi, my name's Kathleen Reid. I'm running for a charity called East Kilbride District and Dementia Care Group.

00:10 Very special to myself because both my mother-in-law and currently my mum attend.

00:16 They provide high quality personalised care to following their diagnosis

00:24 and they've also helped and support my family through a difficult journey

00:30 and gave us help to give us support and a better understanding of dementia.

00:37 So Team Ennis is just like a group of runners and we all do stuff on social media and things like that

00:42 so I think we're just trying to promote running to folk and try and get them to be involved.

00:47 I just thought this was a perfect way to thank them and to hopefully raise a bit of money

00:53 because they do rely on a lot of public support.

00:58 So it's my way of saying thanks and helping.

01:01 I get a run as high every time I go out and I run to be honest with you.

01:05 Sometimes it's hard to get out there but whenever you get out and go on a run I feel much better for it.

01:10 I just like being outside and it's just a good thing to keep you fit, so fit and healthy.

01:17 Well I have done a 10k before but it was nine years ago

01:21 so the last couple of months I have been training and out running, practising

01:28 and hopefully I'll complete 10k on Sunday.

01:31 I feel like I'm always up for a challenge and I had never done a half marathon before

01:35 and since it was in Glasgow anyway, I stay in Glasgow so it's pretty convenient

01:39 and I was like why not, I'll just give it a go and see how I do.
