Can you sponsor the incredible June Suttie (formerly Pennykid) class of 1996, to run the Stockholm Marathon on 1 June 2024, in aid of the We are All George Heriot campaign?
As a former pupil and current parent, June made a rather spur of the moment decision in January 2024 to get running:
'I ran 4 marathons in my 20s/early 30s: Edinburgh (twice), Sydney and New York (which was my last marathon in 2011). This marathon will definitely be more challenging than the others for me: age aside, I haven’t run long distances for many years and have got far less time to train than I did previously on account of work and family commitments.
'I didn’t plan on running another marathon until 2028 to mark my 50th but I’m really relishing the challenge and looking forward to enjoying the marathon weekend in Stockholm with my husband and kids!
'I’m incredibly grateful for my time at Heriot’s and this is the year to “pay it forward”!'
Our very best wishes to June on her training programme and on the day in Stockholm on June 1.
Can you dig deep and sponsor June on this massive effort and help support our We are All George Heriot campaign?

The 42 kilometre adidas Stockholm Marathon takes you through the streets of a beautiful European capital built on 14 islands, offering spectacular views of a unique city with varied scenery, including nature and an impeccably preserved medieval city centre. Enthusiastic crowds will cheer you along the route, leading to an unforgettable finish at the 1912 Olympic Stadium, the home of 83 officially recognized world records in athletics. No other arena in the world comes close to that number.
