Martin and his dad
Congratulations and many thanks to Martin Johnstone from the Glasgow Families Need Fathers group for his efforts in raising funds for us in the Glasgow 10k last Sunday.
His time this year of 58:30secs shows that running in an FNF Scotland t-shirt was more effective that the superman cape he used last year.
Super Dad Dougie (1:01:08secs) and his sister Lindsay (1:22:17secs) ran the race with him.
Martin comments: "My main aim was to demonstrate to everyone that we all love my daughter and no one should deprive us of that special and unique relationship that exists between fathers and their children."
"Perhaps one day, when she’s older, Lily will see the pictures of my 10K endeavours. I may not make the fastest time, or break any distance records, but she will know that I care, that I have always cared about her and that I did it all for her."
"I hope that it demonstrates my commitment to Lily and to raising awareness that men, such as myself, want to be there for their children."
