Atlantic Quay’s Niall smashes target

23 Jun 2017

Atlantic Quay's cycling enthusiast Niall Southwell, has raised over £1000 for the charity Finding Your Feet after a gruelling 541 km, 3-day uphill cycle from Airdrie to John O' Groats.

The charity was founded by quadruple amputee, Corinne Hutton, who survived sepsis, but lost her hands and her legs below the knee. She said: "We're so delighted with Niall raising over £1000 for the charity, smashing his target! We were there to wave him off and it was great to keep up with his progress on Twitter. We hope he enjoyed a well-deserved drink after completing the 541kms! The money raised will go towards the activities we arrange for amputees, including cycling."

Angela Higgins, Atlantic Quay's asset manager comments:  "Our community at Atlantic Quay is proud to support Finding Your Feet and we're delighted to have raised over £1000 and smashing our target.  Thanks to everyone that supported Niall, every penny will go towards turning around the lives of children and adults, so as they can find their feet in life again."
