Law cyclists raise over £22,000 for Williams Syndrome Foundation

Those who run the charity it was supporting, the Williams Syndrome Foundation, were “flabbergasted”.

And bike ride organiser, Mairi McMinn, who is also volunteer Scottish co-ordinator for the charity, said this week: “I thought we would raise £3000 but we have seven times that. It is absolutely fantastic. It is actually going to be over £22,000.”

Now the charity, which is run by parents of children with Williams Syndrome, has the happy task of deciding how to spend the money.
