Rachel Cycles for Oncology Unit

Ten-year-old Rachel Wilson decided to step up a gear in memory of her grandfather by getting on her bike to raise money for the Oncology Unit at Forth Valley Royal Hospital.

She cycled 100 miles, ending at her grandfather’s grave, covering the distance at roughly 22 miles a day.

Rachel wanted to donate to the Unit as a thank you for caring for her granddad during his treatment and is pictured with Lung Clinical Nurse Specialist, Jennifer Wilson, after handing over £250 to the Unit.

The youngster said she found the going tough but felt very proud to have achieved her goal.
