Our annual Charlie Devlin Trophy recognises exceptional kindness and helping others during our Aviemore trip.
Named in memory of Charlie, a wonderful AWARE supporter who sadly passed away this year.
Congratulations to our very worthy 2026 winner, Calum Alexander! π

π»πββοΈ A Glasgow runner has smashed a world record after completing the Great Scottish Run half marathon dressed as a giant bear.
David Pearson completed the 13.1-mile challenge in just 1 hour, 34 minutes and 27 seconds, beating a Guinness World Record that had stood for more than 11 years, all while raising money for Glasgow charity AWARE Scotland.
Would you fancy running 13 miles in a bear costume? ππ»π² glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2661β¦
What a day! Over 70 people ran the @GreatScotRun for AWARE, with loads more out supporting and our AWARE Bear broke a Guinness World Record! π»π
Huge thanks to @GroupKeane for sponsoring us and Abby & Anne for organising it all.
Roll on next year! π
