Story

Les, Alec, Ged, Adam and Owen are taking part in the monster bike and hike (http://www.maggiescentres.org/eventsfundraising/events/monsterhike/about.html) to raise money for Maggies in Dundee.

Les has prostate cancer, he was diagnosed in 2008 and underwent major surgery. Les found that the after effects of the cancer was worse than the disease itself. Thats where Maggies became a vital part of his recovery. Visiting Maggies made such an improvement on how Les coped with everyday life. This became even more important to Les when the cancer returned last summer.

Alec, Ged, Adam, Owen and Les have all been affected by cancer in one way or another and see this as a great opportunity to help raise awareness and money for this important charity. 

Monday 21st March --- New member to the team....Cameron Stephen has been allowed to participate in the Monster Bike and Hike.  He was gutted at not being able to be with his dad on the day but after many phonecalls and pleas made on his behalf it is finally official that he has joined the team.  Support Cameron as our youngest member who is determined to make a difference
