Jordanhill man, Bob Davidson and five of his desk bound friends plan to cycle 600 miles in eight days to raise funds for Yorkhill Children’s Foundation.
Starting from Berwick Upon Tweed on Wednesday 12 June they aim to reach John O’Groats having brought in £10,000 for the charity.
Said Bob who is Chief Executive of the Renfrewshire Chamber of Commerce: ‘Recently, we completed a 60 mile trip to Drymen and back. We were all, to put it politely, knackered at the end of it! This trip will be very, very hard for all of us, even the younger ones.’
Appealing for people to give, he said: ‘Most of us have used or know friends or family who have used Yorkhill Hospital. What people don’t know is that it relies heavily on help to raise funds to provide the services it does in the excellent manner it does it. Please visit our website and make a donation. See www.justgiving.com/but2jog Knowing that people are donating will keep us peddling on mile after mile.’
One of the riders is Stephen Hall whose daughter Abigail has regular treatment at Yorkhill following a heart transplant. He’s cycling because he knows exactly what a great facility the hospital is.
