All of these things helped to complete the route and raise an outstanding £4,000 in aid of the Northern Ireland Air Ambulance - a fantastic charity close to Moycraig YFC’s heart.
This is the start of fundraising in Aid of Air Ambulance, and the club will present the full amount raised at the end of the year.
