🚴 Cyclist`s story: Meet Colin Leith

After completing the Etape Loch Ness in 2025 for @macmillancancer, Colin`s connection to the charity became deeply personal.

After Colin’s Dad sadly passed away from cancer, he wanted to give back to the Macmillan nurses who provided excellent care and incredible compassion to both his Dad and his family during those final days.

In 2026, Colin is returning to the Loch to ride in remembrance of his Dad and to say a massive thank you to the nurses who were there when it mattered most. 🏔️

Good luck Colin, we`ll be cheering you on all the way.
