Oban Coastguard Rescue Team volunteers have raised money over several years for cancer charities by walking from Oban to Edinbane, Isle of Skye, the family home of volunteer Coastguard Ali MacNab. 

 Ali was a trusted, respected and dedicated member of the Oban Coastguard Rescue Team. He was a friend to many and is sadly missed. He succumbed to cancer and left us in January 2016 at 48 years of age.

Lockdown stopped us in our tracks and we haven't been able to "Walk for Ali" for two years. We may be able to attempt a walk later in 2022.

Meantime volunteer Coastguard Iain has been growing a beard and the plan is to ask folks to donate to the "shaving the beard for Ali" event! Iain has had facial hair of various sizes, shapes and form for over 35 years. Many people will have never seen him clean shaven.

Trinity Hairdressing and Beauty of High Street, Oban is the venue for the shaving of the beard. 

Don't forget to tick the GiftAid box if you are are UK taxpayer.

Update 3rd March. Thank you so much everyone for your donations. The   "Shave for Ali" will take place on 21 March. 

Update 17th March - new date for the "Shave for Ali " is FRIDAY 25TH MARCH 1130 AT TRINITY HAIRDRESSING AND BEAUTY
