Dr Bob’s 2009 Walk for Maggie’s Centres
29/09/2009 by Ken Wilkie.
One of our Elders, Dr Bob Grant has successfully completed a 7-day, 100-mile “Hop Across Scotland”. He was accompanied on the walk by his wife Joan who is also an Elder of our church and other family members and friends. What is remarkable is that Bob lost his right leg to cancer in 2002 and completed the walk on one leg and crutches!
He started on 17th September at Bowling in West Dunbartonshire and followed the Forth & Clyde Canal to Falkirk, then the Union Canal to Edinburgh, visiting the Maggie’s Centres in Edinburgh and Glasgow en route. He then travelled over the Forth Road Bridge and along the Fife Coastal Path ending at the Maggie’s Centre in Kirkcaldy around 5pm on Wednesday 23rd September. His target is to raise £16000.00 for Maggie’s Centres.
