Run the Road

Promoting Poppyscotland’s Run the Road event in June was the Logan family – TV presenter Gabby and former Scotland rugby player husband, Kenny, with their twins Lois and Reuben.

Gabby said: “We are really pleased to be helping to promote Run the Road for Poppyscotland. I feel it is important that people remember that Poppyscotland doesn’t just look after veterans from the Second World War and that it provides care all year round – not just in November. With the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, many young men and women – who are the same age as Kenny and I – are in need of help when they come home. Poppyscotland exists to help those men and women and their families.”
