Goal
On the 26th of June, Tom and Aidan Gallacher are going to take on the Jimmy G West Coast Challenge, a 984km cycle from Neilston to the Outer Hebrides and back again, to raise funds in the memory of their dad, Jim Gallacher, who died quite suddenly on the 31st of October 2020.
Much of Jim's career was spent working increasing access to higher and further education for all. In recent years he had also spent time volunteering to support local refugees and asylum seekers so it is a fitting tribute that the funds raised from the cycle are going to be used to assist these communities in Scotland back into education and support Jim's long held hope of a more socially just society.
We hope that you will be able to support the boys as they pedal up and down the west coast of Scotland. Any donation, of any size, in Jim's memory would be most appreciated.
