For cousins Martin Kennedy, Craig Wilson, and Stuart Manock, this year’s Etape is deeply personal.
They’re riding in memory of their Gran, Aileen Ligertwood, who dedicated years to @macmillancancer on the Inverness committee before passing away last year at age 93. 💚
This is no small feat - none of the trio were cyclists before signing up, and two didn`t even own a bike! They`ve been training hard to tackle the 66-mile course to continue Aileen’s legacy of helping others.
We’re so inspired by their grit and motivation. Let`s show them some Etape support! 👏
