Hello & thank you for visiting my page!

I am raising funds for the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) by taking part in the Etape Caledonia (135 km) & Ride the North (160 km) cycle events - in memory of my mum, Jean. She couldn't ride a bike but came along to Pitlochry to see me roll around previous Etape Caledonia races.

I am not really a cyclist but my knees/feet won't let me be a happy runner anymore, so here I am - a fully paid up member of the lycra club. At least there will be a benefit from me pouring myself into my cycle gear come May 12th & August 24th 2024 :)

SCAA is a fantastic organisation. I have visited its Aberdeen base (Helimed 79) & have seen for myself what amazing service it provides. The experienced & dedicated crews really do enable life saving, pre-hospital care to be accessed by anyone & everyone who may need it here in Scotland. As detailed below - SCAA is 100% funded by charity donations which seems crazy but is true, so many, many, many thanks in advance for any donations towards my upcoming chafe fest cycle events.

SCAA official overview:

Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance is Scotland’s only charity-funded air ambulance service. We rely on public support to keep flying and responding to time-critical emergencies wherever they occur in Scotland. From our bases in Perth and Aberdeen we can reach 90% of Scotland’s population within 25 minutes, providing a vital lifeline to communities all over the country. Our mission is to deliver more care, more quickly, to more people across Scotland - but we can only keep flying and saving lives with your support.
