A YOUNG Linwood man has stepped up to raise thousands of pounds for a local hospice that cared for his late mother.
Ryan Ayr took on the
26-mile challenge with five of his friends as they donned kilts for this year’s virtual Kiltwalk.
The team has raised £7000 for ACCORD Hospice in Paisley from generous family and friends – but their overall total is set to almost double thanks to Gift Aid and a commitment from Sir Tom Hunter to match pound-for-pound all funds raised via the Kiltwalk.
Ryan said: “I can’t imagine giving the money to a more worthwhile cause than ACCORD Hospice. They gave her the best possible care at the worst time.
“The only way I can describe the staff is ‘sublime’. They were so professional yet had the most caring characters and as a family we cannot thank them enough for all they did to make my mum’s experience as comfortable as possible.”
