Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Lorna Ridley and May & Gordon Liney will be cycling 327 miles from John O Groats to Perth via the national cycle network in memory of Lorna’s Dad, Norman Ridley (1937 -2022) to raise funds for Cycling without Age Scotland (CWAS). Norman (pictured above) was one of the most committed and dedicated volunteers, Trustees and Senior Ambassador for CWAS and actively raised funds and promoted this movement all over Scotland and particularly in Perth. Trishaws were introduced in Perth by pupils and staff from Perth High School who continue to coordinate this fantastic project in their local community.
Cycling Without Age is a movement to help the elderly and those with limited ability to get back onto their bicycles using a trishaw. Cycling Without Age Scotland now generates “miles of smiles” in every part of Scotland and its reach and impact are growing every day. It enriches and enhances lives, unlocks doors, enables older people to once again be an active part of their communities, once again to “feel the wind in their hair”, to rekindle old friendships and to make new ones and to rejoice in heart-warming stories. This is unparalleled access, which we also provide to disabled people. This is a completely free service and is very active in Perth, using local volunteers to get the elderly out and about.
