Atrio of Glasgow rugby players will be cycling their way through the Borders on Wednesday, April 3.
As part of their 650-mile cycling challenge in six-and -a-half days around 40 rugby clubs in Scotland, GHK players Gordi Reid, Owen McInroy and Ally Peterson will leave Aberdeen on Sunday, March 31, to raise money for the Craig Hodgkinson Trust which provides defibrillator equipment to sports teams, clubs and communities.
Speaking on behalf of the threesome, Reid said: “Our chosen charity is one very close to our and the club’s hearts as Craig Hodgkinson was an ex-Glasgow High School, GHK and Glasgow Hawks player and team-mate who tragically died, whilst playing our beloved game, from an unknown cardiac defect.”
The Borders leg of the tour will take in Kelso (8am), Jedburgh (9am), Hawick/Hawick YM (10.15am), Selkirk (noon), Melrose (1pm), Gala (1.30pm), Peebles (3.30pm) and Biggar (5.30pm). To donate visit http://lastinghope.bhf.org.uk/briggsycycle
