A Stirlingshire trio recently took on the West Highland Way trek for specialist disability charity Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus (SBH) Scotland.
Nikki Murray along with Michael Warnock and Danny Holwell wanted to support SBH Scotland after Michael’s much loved Uncle Chic, who lived with spina bifida, passed away last year.
