After months of dedication, early mornings, and pounding the pavements, our Managing Partner, Robert Honeyman, crossed the finish line of the London Marathon on Sunday 27^th April in an impressive 3 hours, 35 minutes, and 44 seconds. But even more remarkable than the time was the cause behind the run and the overwhelming support that helped get him there.



We began this journey in memory of our much-loved colleague Lyndsay, who bravely faced cancer and nominated Ayrshire Cancer Support as one of The McKinstry Company’s charities of the year. Robert promised Lyndsay that he would run the marathon in her name and raise a "truck load of money" for the charity that supported her and her family so compassionately.

Thanks to your generosity, kind words, and encouragement, we not only hit our £10,000 fundraising target - we smashed it, reaching over £12,200.

In Robert’s words:

“It has meant a lot, and the fact that we were able to raise so much money for Ayrshire Cancer Support is amazing. I am delighted we were able to bring it home and smash the £10k target.”

The run itself was challenging, especially in the unexpected heat with miles 22 to 24 being particularly tough, but the goal kept him going. Robert was also thrilled to receive some thoughtful gifts from the team before heading down to London the perfect send-off. A post run sports massage voucher and plenty of sugar to keep the energy levels up.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and supported the campaign in any way. And to our team who helped raise awareness and deliver an incredible campaign that showed what community and compassion can achieve.

Together, we’ve honoured Lyndsay’s legacy in the most powerful way by supporting others just like her.
