Teamwork
Never before have we appreciated that if you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go far go together.
Our 927-mile cycle and fund raising journey is almost over. Cycle done and fund raising finishes in 24 hours. Still time to donate and get us closer to £25,000.

Thanks to the sports people that have inspired us to do what we did.
Can I ask one more favour of them and that it is to share this post.
Thanks to the cyclists Jenny Graham Mark Beaumont Josh Quigley Sheena Armour Johnny Dreczkowski
Each of you have been an inspiration in different ways. Thank you. When you have spent 10 hours in the saddle day after day, only then do you comprehend the enormity of what you each have done. 👏
Thanks to our local sports stars Eve Muirhead OBE Finn russell Kieron Achara OLY MBE Each of you have done Stirling proud and have been role models in determination and succeeding enormously in your chosen sport. As a team this is our only chance to be associated with such greatness Thank you. 👏
Thanks to the dietary advice from Nick Nairn. We did restock in carbs at the end of the day Nick…beer and pasta. Thanks.
One thing that binds all of these people together is mindset.
Finally thanks to my fellow team members Brian Williamson, Bobby Morton and Norrie Bairner.
Teamwork won in the end.

So - As we come to the end of our fundraising challenge it is time to introduce you all to the fifth member of our team 🥰.
He was quiet when we were driving and cycling.
He put us to sleep.
He woke us up.
We sang along to his tunes.
We chose what he played to us.
Sometimes he was too loud, never to quiet.
Sometimes Norrie said ‘there’s something missing’ and it was him 🤨.
He pulled us together and we sang along😱.
His name is “Wonderboom” 😂😂.
You can check out our ‘eclectic playlist’ at :

Love to hear your thoughts on it 👍

Our fundraiser ends on Saturday 21/10/23. We are sitting at :
£20,297.63 raised from 327 donations and 202 followers.
I speak for all the team when I say ‘Thank you all so so much for all your support, help, guidance and just for being there for us all’ it truly helped us along our way ❤️.

Many many thanks
