Team Hedley runs for the Marie Curie Hospice

Many Arran people will have fond memories of Morven Hedley, who took such a lively part in the island’s theatrical life. A founder member of the Whiting Bay Drama Club, her career was cut short by cancer, and she spent her last months in the Glasgow Marie Curie Hospice, being cared for by wonderful nurses who Morven called her ‘angels’.

Her son David, himself a notable performer and singer, has embarked this year on a series of events to raise valuable funds for the Marie Curie Hospice in Glasgow. In May he ran the gruelling Whole Hog Challenge, a gruelling 7 mile cross country run with military endurance-style obstacles to be surmounted, and this month, on October 7th, he will be participating in a punishing 78 mile road cycle event in the Etape Pennines. Riders will be expected to tackle 5,407ft of

David has clocked up over 500 miles in training, and even his 5 year old son, Euan has been doing sponsored cycle ridess to help raise money for the nurses who cared for his Nana.
Team Hedley, as the pair call themselves, would be delighted if you would like to sponsor their efforts and help raise much needed funds for a charity that is very close to many of our hearts. It’s easy to do – just click on this address.
