Kenny Herriot is a Spinal Injuries Scotland member and is one of the world’s leading wheelchair athletes. He has participated in events worldwide such as “The Great Lemon Ride” - 4000 miles from San Francisco to New York and has been voted Aberdeen's sportsman of the year three times (please see his website
www.kennyherriot.co.uk to see his profile).
Shaun Dargan, our Project Coordinator for Clober Farm is a keen cyclist who loves a challenge and is relishing the chance to cycle with Kenny, who has previously cycled to raise funds and awareness for SIS in the past.
The third wheel (in the best possible sense) is Kevin Toogood. Kevin will be providing all the necessary support, from driving the team vehicle to ensuring the guys are fuelled up.
Shaun and Kenny are doing this to raise funds for Clober Farm which SIS are working on converting a 280 year old farm house into state of the art accessible accommodation for those who have suffered a spinal injury and their families.
