Dr Andrew MurrayIt does not seem that long ago that Dr Andrew Murray took time out of what was a very busy schedule to drop into Victoria Park and catch up with his cousin Scott Morrison.   

 

Andrew, a GP from Aberdeen set himself the unbelievable target of running the 2,650 miles from John O'Groats to the Sahara, North Africa, in just 85 days! This record smashing feat is all in aid of raising £100,000 for the Yamaa Trust, a Scottish organisation founded with one single aim, the amelioration of poverty in the South Gobi region of Mongolia.

 

He began his journey amid some of the worst weather this country has seen, battling his way through the snow that brought much of Great Britain to a stand still. 75 days on and the weather could not be more different as Andrew travels through the scorching Sahara with the tarmac literally melting beneath his feet.

 

Unbelievably a week ahead of schedule with extra miles added to his trip, Andrew today completed his challenge, and everyone at Ross County Football Club would like to congratulate him on what is an unprecedented and astounding achievement, a true inspiration.

 

Anyone wishing to donate to Andrew's cause and the Yamaa Trust can still do so by text or online through the scotland2sahara website, where you can also learn more about the Trust.
