Cyclist Alan Young raced past his original target to raise more than £2,000 for charity by taking up the Etape Caledonia cycling challenge.
Alan, regional sales director at Lochmaben’s Russell Roof Tiles, cycled 85 miles around the hills of Pitlochry, for the Beatson Cancer Charity.
Beatson is a small charity based in Glasgow that provides support to families and patients.
It is one close to Alan’s heart, as they supported his own family when they lost his father to cancer, 23 years ago.
Alan said: “Whilst it was extremely hard going at times, what has made the challenge even more rewarding has been the generosity which so many people have shown me and more importantly, the Beatson Cancer Charity whom I was raising money for.
“I’m ecstatic at the amount that has been raised as initially I had a target of collecting £250. To have completely exceeded that total is incredible.
“Thank you to everyone who has donated from friends, customers, suppliers to the whole of the Russell Roof Tiles team. I’ve been blown away by the support.”
“We’re delighted to be able to help Alan with this challenge and congratulate him on his amazing achievement.”
