Story

For our 7th consecutive year we will join 5,000  of our closest lycra clad friends in this happy jaunt around the Highlands . Last year was the worst weather on record , so we are due some sunshine !!!! ????

Our ranks have lost some old and new participants to work commitments , injury and other sporting events , but we have new and old blood making up the impressive 14 riders sporting our traditionally garish tartan outfits for the 81 miles around Lochs Tay and Tummel

Thanks to Bill Boyes , Denise and Campbell Moffat , Mike Wilford , Donald Porteous , Chris Taggart , Robert Rogers , Jonathan and Ros Goode and Chris Parker and Suz Paul for joining Alistair , Sandra and myself as we honour our mother Netta and Sandra's husband David and all those touched by cancer and raise funds to make their suffering more manageable.

We are deeply humbled by your collective generosity in the past and completely understand if this is not " your year" , so please feel free to just wish us your support.

However , if you've read this far and feel able to contribute we and Macmillan Cancer Support will be forever grateful.

About the charity

Dumfries and Galloway Health Board Endowment Fund is a charity of over 240 funds for the benefit of patients and staff in Dumfries and Galloway. Each hospital and most wards, units, departments and speciality has its own individual fund.
