Rainbow
Valley was inspired by the vision of Johanna MacVicar, who in 1994,
at age 16 years was diagnosed with Leukaemia. After an 11 year
battle, Johanna sadly lost her fight against the illness. Johanna’s
mother, Angela, together with family & friends created the
charitable organisation Rainbow Valley, to bring Johanna’s dream to
fruition. The goal for Rainbow Valley is to raise £1 million over
the next two years to allow for the construction of the Rainbow
Valley facility, which will benefit everyone affected by cancer.
In
order to contribute to the Fundraising, James Watson Managing
Director at DNV Global Solutions, took part in the Trossachs 10k,
coming in at number 57. The event raised £4350 in total for
Rainbow Valley. The next challenge he will be taking up Is to climb
Ben Nevis, the event is planned for next year on June 15th.
“I
am extremely fortunate for all that I have both personally and
professionally and I feel that it's time to start giving back. I've
never been involved with any Charity before and I feel that Rainbow
Valley is the perfect cause. I am a fitness fanatic and I my goal is
to use my passion to raise a lot for money over the coming years by
taking part in physical challenges.” ~ James Watson, Managing
Director.
The
Charity will be hosting it's annual Rainbow Valley Ball which will be
taking place at the Thistle hotel, in Glasgow, on the 16th
November. Below is the link to the Rainbow Valley website where you

them achieve their goal of raising £1m by 2015.
