A climb of 4,409 feet to the summit of , with no budding Chris Boningtons or Ranulph Fiennes is a tall order. However, with such a worthy cause the team at West Scotland Business centre have decided to go for it!.

Spinal Injuries Scotland  have become close to our hearts. Having met initially with Ian Wallace and latterly with Peter Joyce & Dougie Johnstone we have started a friendship that is set to grow.

Spinal Injuries Scotland is the national voluntary organisation concerned with new and long-term spinal cord injured people, their relatives and friends, along with those involved in the management, care and rehabilitation of the injury.

Ian hit a rock and fell off his bike just over 3 years ago. This fall resulted in Ian being paralysed from the neck down, confined to a wheelchair and reliant on care visits every 4 hours of the day and night. Ian is an inspiration to us all and is looking to become more closely involved with the charity.

2010 is not only the beginning of a new decade, but marks the 50th anniversary since the inception of Spinal Injuries Scotland.

Lombard,  West of has set a date of 24^th  April for their ascent. We would all really appreciate any donations in support of this incredible organisation in their Golden Anniversary.

Thank you.

Lombard Team Members l-r - Craig Hillis, Nigel Barclay, Myra Newlands, Kenneth Mair, Lewis Orchant, Greig McMillan, Ruth Oliver, David Kinnear, Chris Hoey, Andy Willock
