A group of four die-hard Ross County supporters exiled from the Highlands including our Trustee, Craig Smith, went the extra mile on Sunday completing the 21 mile Edinburgh Kiltwalk and raising almost £3,000 for for which we are all hugely grateful.

It was an amazing effort by Craig and his group of the ‘Central Staggies’, Mark MacDonald, Darren Ross and Lewis Dalgarno demonstrating the deep connection with Scotland, Football and Zambia embodied by Africa On The Ball 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Mark was a real inspiration as he added an extra mile to his training walks every week for 20 weeks! Even better, his employer, Barclays is match his fundraising up to £1,000 – meaning the donations are going twice as far. 👏

Their fundraising will support the creation of our first-ever clubhouse in Kalingalinga, which will become a safe community hub for education, football, and opportunity.

The Kiltwalk also came at a poignant time, giving the Staggies the chance with every step, to honour the memory of the late Jimmy Bone, our long-time patron and former Ross County assistant manager, honouring his passion and commitment to AOTB.

Well done and thank you again lads for your great dedication and honour to AOTB and Jimmy Bone 💚
