A keen Killearn cyclist is pedalling the miles in a special challenge to raise money for the DEC’s Ukraine appeal.
Neil Mackay, who works as head of languages at Lomond School in Helensburgh, will cycle up a local hill sixty times today - mimicking scaling Ukraine’s highest peak, Hoverla, three times.
The challenge is expected to take somewhere between 13 and 15 hours, with Neil already having received strong support from locals and beyond on his online fundraising page where he has raised £872.
