Cycle marathon raises £14,041

Taynuilt man Willie Neilson, who cycled from Land’s End to Oban in aid of three charities, has totalled up his sponsorship money.

He is on course to raise £14,041 ‘providing remaining sponsors pay’.

Willie cycled 737 miles in seven days and the money will be split equally between Alzheimer’s Scotland, the Craighalbert Centre and the Beatson Cancer Charity.

Each of the charities has a special connection to the building contractor. The 29-yearold said: ‘Big thanks to the team, the sponsors and the supporters. See you next time.’
