Team Pedal-Less has been formed in order to take part in this years Pedal for Scotland event.

Team Members are:

Ruairidh Macdonald - The Possibly Deluded, Over-Enthusiastic Captain
Amy McEachan - The Giggling* Vice Captain (* Fuelled by Powerade)
Claire Murray - The Drama Queen
Kenny McLeod - The Ringer

Our team name (Pedal-Less) is a reference to our first practice cycle for the big event. Quick summary... 3 people, 3 bikes, 16 miles and 5 pedals!... Good times :-)

We have chosen to raise funds for Ayrshire Cancer Support, as we feel it is a very worthy cause.

Ayrshire Cancer Support has operated in Ayrshire since 1982 providing emotional support and practical help for cancer patients, their families, carers and the bereaved. Their aim is to ensure that help is readily available for everyone who needs it. 

Their Patient Transport Service is staffed by volunteer drivers who use their own vehicles. Patients are collected from their homes, accompanied to hospital and taken home again after treatment. This service is especially useful for patients who feel unwell, those living in rural areas, the elderly and parents taking their children for treatment.

Their Cancer Support Centres in Ayr and Kilmarnock were opened in 1997 in response to an identified need for counselling and support services. The centres still operate today providing a drop in facility for cancer patients, their families and the bereaved and provide a range of services including counselling, support groups and complementary therapies.

We all know of people who are or have been affected by cancer. Please give as little or as much as you can manage...

Thanks.
