Fundraisers, Anne and Stewart recently completed an incredible 432-mile cycling journey through the breath taking landscapes of Scotland. Starting from the historic Gretna Green in the south and ending at the iconic John O’ Groats in the northeast, their eight-day adventure took them through some of the most stunning scenery the Scottish Highlands have to offer.
Along the way, they met many kind-hearted people who were eager to support their mission. Thanks to the generosity of these new friends and the unwavering support of their loved ones, Anne and Stewart not only met but surpassed their fundraising goal.
Their motivation for this remarkable challenge was deeply personal. Anne and Stewart’s nephew, Andrew, is living with follicular lymphoma (FL). For them, this fundraising effort is not just a noble cause—it’s a mission that hits close to home.
Despite the challenges of his diagnosis, Andrew has been a beacon of hope and resilience. A young, fit husband and new father, he has devoted his energy to raising awareness and funds for the Follicular Lymphoma Foundation (FLF). His determination and the support of his friends have already made a significant impact, inspiring Anne and Stewart to take on their own fundraising journey.
As their photos show, Anne and Stewart fully embraced the natural beauty of Scotland as they cycled through rolling hills, rugged coastlines, and serene countryside. Their journey was not just a physical challenge but a testament to their dedication and love for Andrew and everyone affected by follicular lymphoma.
At the FLF, we are deeply moved by Anne and Stewart’s remarkable achievement. Their success brings us closer to our goal of finding a cure for FL and strengthens our community of support. On behalf of everyone at the FLF, and the countless lives that will be touched by their efforts, we extend our heartfelt thanks.
