Maggie's is a cancer caring charity and they're inviting you to join them on their Culture crawl!
Basically the Culture Crawl is a little adventure through the city, visiting well-known spots along the way and being spoiled with some cultural treats - all whilst raising money for a really worthwhile cause! If you fancy joining them you'll embark on an 8 mile walk through the city at night getting a behind the scenes look at some iconic venues on the way and at each venue you'll be treated to cultural performances - live music, impressive arts and delicious foods.
I'm going to be taking part in the Glasgow crawl and we'll be stopping off at places like: Merchant's House, Glasgow Cathedral, Barras Art and Design Centre, the Hunterian and so many more! I can't wait to see all these places I'm so familiar with in a new light and visit new places in the city that I've just never explored before.
The purpose of the crawl is a little more serious though. The Culture Crawl is one of Maggie's largest events and it raises essential funds to keep their centres running. These amazing places offer practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their friends and family for free.
Maggie's centres look after cancer patients and offer a programme of support to strengthen patients physical and emotional wellbeing. When people visit the centre there's qualified experts on hand to offer advice or the centre can simply serve as a space to take time out and enjoy some calm. They were also designed and built with great care by world-renowned architects to create calm and up-lifting environments.
Taking part in the Culture Crawl is a fantastic way to celebrate all that Glasgow has to offer. Anyone and everyone can get involved and it's a really fun way that you can help to make a difference!
I'll be taking part in the Glasgow Culture Crawl on September 29th (see you there?) but there will also be one in Edinburgh on September 22nd.
