Callum Laird, from New Cumnock, undertook the arduous Dragon’s Back Race, a 236-mile event with an ascent of 50,000 feet stretching across Wales from Conwy to Cardiff. He was inspired to support the Stroke Unit after friends received care there.
Mr Laird visited the ward to present the donation, which was made possible by the generosity of his family, friends, and supporters. He expressed his delight that the funds would benefit the ward.
Christine Somerville, Senior Charge Nurse for Ward 3E, expressed her gratitude: “We are incredibly grateful to Callum for taking on such an impressive challenge and choosing to support our ward. Raising £1,160 is a fantastic achievement and we would also like to thank everyone who generously supported him.”
She added: “The donation will be used to enhance the experience of patients while they are in our care, helping us make their time on the ward as comfortable and positive as possible. On behalf of our patients and the whole team, I would like to say a huge thank you to Callum.”
