Back in the saddle for Butt to Barra! 🚴‍♂️

Hannah Macdonald, Staff Nurse, and Nicola Libby, Surgical Arthroplasty Practitioner, are taking on the Butt to Barra challenge for the second year running

The pair are raising money for Crossroads Lewis, a service that supports unpaid carers across the island with short breaks, appointments, errands, or simply a chance to breathe for a moment.

Wishing Hannah and Nicola the very best of luck on their journey. Make sure to give them a beep and a wave if you see them out training!
