Katie & Robyn’s fundraiser for SupportED

We were delighted to read about Katie & Robyn’s incredible fundraising efforts for us. This month, they’re aiming to walk 500,000 steps and that’s not all!

In April, they’re planning to walk the 23 mile Glasgow Kiltwalk for Supported. This is their super inspiring story.

Katie said “I wanted to take a moment to share something close to my heart. For the past few years, I’ve been battling bulimia, and last year was particularly tough. It’s been a challenging journey, but with the support from my best friend/roommate Robyn and the people from Support ED I’m finally turning a corner, focusing on nourishing my body and mind 🧘‍♀️☺️

With the incredible support from Robyn, I’m excited to announce that we’re taking on the challenge of walking 500,000 steps each this March as well as participating in the Glasgow Kiltwalk in April 🥾. Every step we take is not just for our health, but to raise money for the amazing charity SupportED that is dedicated to supporting those affected by eating disorders ❤️

Robyn added “Over the last year I have seen first hand how valuable support from charities like this can be. My friend Katie has bravely fought and began recovery from an eating disorder and I have supported from the sidelines through many highs and lows. I have seen firsthand how poor the mental health services are in this country, how difficult it is to be heard and how deflating it can be when you are brushed off. I have seen someone at some of the lowest points of their life, but with the desire to find a way to keep fighting. On the hardest days it seemed almost impossible but Katie has shown that anything is possible, if you want it and you try.”

UPDATE 7TH APRIL 2026

Just a quick email to update you on our walking challenge being complete! We walked 500,000 steps each in March, clocking up over 250 miles each in the month! It was definitely a challenge but we are both so glad we did it.

We’ve made a wee video collage of some of our highlights which Katie posted on her Facebook here (We’re nearly at our £500 fundraising target and we’ll keep sharing this between now and the Kiltwalk on 26th April!).

Thank you for following along with our challenge! Looking forward to putting our feet up now in a few weeks.

UPDATE 17TH March 2026

Just a wee update on our fundraiser as we reach the halfway point! We have both walked over 200,000 steps each so far and are ready to ramp up the effort so we complete the challenge by the end of the month!

We have been sharing our steps and fundraising link daily on our own instagram pages and we saw that you and had also shared it on your socials – thank you.

We have had T-shirts made and will be wearing these to support you guys on our long walks going forward! Some photos are attached.

Thank you,
Robyn and Katie
