A courageous group of pals are taking on a mammoth challenge today by kayaking 100 kilometres around the Isle of Arran for Dementia UK.
Max Pickles, 32, from Ayr, has called upon his mates to help him raise £5,000 for the charity in honour of dad Andrew, 73, who was diagnosed with dementia last year.
The challenge will see dad-of-one Max kayak 100 km around Arran in unforgiving maritime conditions alongside pals Matthew Kinloch, Archie Crawford, Chris Thomson, Aaron Newcombe and Chris Sleigh.
