A teenage cancer survivor from Dumfries has sent a message of support to cyclists riding through the region on an epic 600-mile challenge for the charity which helped her on the road to recovery.
Stevie-Jo Kirkpatrick, 17, has been following the progress of a team of nine riders tackling the gruelling Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust’s Largs to Cowes Brighter Futures Cycle Challenge from the west coast of Scotland to the Isle of Wight, with the aim of completing a route between the charity’s bases over eight days.
They completed the first leg of the challenge by cycling to Castle Douglas where they stayed overnight.
