Pedal power for cause as a group of 22 cyclists raised £20,500 by tackling the North Coast 500 to support people with multiple sclerosis (MS) – including Inverness and Nairn MS Society Group and Ross-shire MS Society Group
A group of 22 cyclists raised £20,500 by tackling the North Coast 500.
The money will be used to support people with multiple sclerosis (MS), going to local causes including Inverness and Nairn MS Society Group and Ross-shire MS Society Group, as well as funding national research projects.
The cycle was organised by Bike the UK for MS, with a support vehicle following the bikers during the eight-day challenge.
James Whateley, UK programme director, said: “The team did a phenomenal job, completing the North Coast 500 in eight days, taking on everything the Scottish Highlands could throw at them.
“The team were all smiles at the finish having gone through a full range of emotions through the week.
“A team consisting of beginners through to cycle touring veterans, every one of them completed every pedal stroke to support those in the MS community that need it most!”
