00:00Ram and Paul and their dad.

00:02We're running 50 miles in the month of November

00:05to raise money for Maddy's Giving Tree.

00:07It's the third year in a row where we've done something like this,

00:09so it's something that we really enjoy doing as a family.

00:11And we're 11 days into it now.

00:13And I wanted really the boys to understand

00:15how much they can help people out.

00:17Why are we running? What do we want to do?

00:20To give Christmas.

00:21That's right. So we just want everyone to just have the best Christmas.

00:23We've run three miles to help us raise £500.

00:28Thank you everyone for sponsoring us.

00:30What are we running for? Who are we raising money for?

00:33For the kids to have a good Christmas.

00:34Well done.

00:35Thanks, Mum. Let's go!

00:36Yes, thank you.

00:38And we know that we can help people in the local area by doing it as well,

00:42so that's the key thing for us.

00:44The things we've done in the past have been for national charities,

00:47so we really wanted to be able to impact on that whole community as well.

00:51So there's a Giving Tree set up in the St Giles Centre in Elgin.

00:55And on that is a list of presents that go to people who are in need.

01:00So that's a list of maybe some gifts.

01:03Also, they provide food parcels as well in the month of December as well,

01:07and it just means that everyone gets something for Christmas.

01:09So last year we were the Secret Santas,

01:11and then this year we were thinking around about what could it be.

01:15So we've been singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,

01:17we've been running around as well to try and get bits of that together.

01:21It's not going well so far, has it?

01:24We're not very good singers, to be honest with you.

01:26Runners, yes, not singers.

01:27I'm just proud, so proud of them.

01:29There's never, for wee boys to take this on

01:34and to just actually meet every single night with no moans and groans

01:37and actually look forward to it, I'm so proud of them.

01:41How much have you raised?

01:42Eight.

01:43Eight hundred pounds?

01:44Eight hundred pounds.

01:45Like seven.

01:47Let's go!
