Congratulations Craig!

We'd like to say a huge congratulations to Craig Cunningham, who came in 1st place at Maggie's Monster Bike and Hike at the weekend.

The 24-hour fundraising team challenge goes from Fort William through to Inverness, covering 73 miles along the Great Glen Way.

During the gruelling event Craig biked 30 miles and then ran 43 miles - finishing with a time of 9hrs 30mins. It's a huge achievement and Craig has put in a great deal of training to get to this stage - even going hill running on the morning of his wedding in November, in the snow!

Funds raised from the event go to Maggie’s which provides support to anyone affected by any type of cancer, be they a patient, family member or friend.

Craig is now preparing to take part in the Caledonian Challenge, which takes place from June 13th-14th and covers 54 miles in 24 hours.

A picture of Craig at the finishing line is on its way, but in the meantime here's one we took of him on the morning of his wedding...
