Heather Manson and I were at Airdrie Academy together, then life happened and we lost touch completely, until now.
I’d been following her from afar for a while, even before Street Soccer Scotland. She helped lead fundraising at the Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow, part of the team that raised £21 million to build the new hospice, and it was obvious even then that this wasn’t just a job for her. It’s who she is. Plenty of people talk about giving back as though it’s another line for the CV. Heather just gets on and does it, and she doesn’t seem to know how to do anything by halves: she dances competitively, she’s completed an Ironman, and she’s built an entire career around helping charities change lives rather than simply supporting them from a distance.
I came away from the conversation properly in awe of her energy, her humility, and her commitment to making a difference.
Here’s a short trailer. The full conversation lands soon.
People. Planet. Progress.
