Back in 2010 my walking buddy Moira broke her ankle near Loch Etchachan in the Cairmgorms and was airlifted to hospital.

Moira made a donation to RAF Kinloss at the time of her rescue, but it was always her intention to do something to raise funds for Mountain Rescue so when I suggested doing the WHW for my 70th it seemed an ideal opportunity. I've got a double interest as a few years later another of my friends broke her ankle and was airlifted to hospital - an uncomfortable case of deja vu!

In addition to Moira and Mary's rescues I'm indebted to Mountain Rescue for the recovery of Kath Irvine in 2013 and more recently Neil and Alan Gibson whose family I've known for many years.The work of these brave volunteers can never be fully appreciated and not a single one of us knows when we may need them.
Please consider making a donation no matter how small. Many thanks.
