Public get in step for virtual walk to Malawi

FUNDRAISERS are being given the opportunity to walk to Malawi without leaving Ayrshire.

NHS Ayrshire & Arran has teamed up with Cumnock GP Dr Gareth Powell, and Ayr Presbytery to raise cash for a healthcare facility in the district of Bandawe.

Instead of making the real journey, supporters can cover part of the distance by walking, running, cycling or swimming in their local area.

The sponsored walk takes place on Saturday, 19 May along the River Ayr.

Dr Powell said: "We hope to employ a nurse and three health surveillance officers, who will be able to deliver basic but often life-saving healthcare to local people."

If you would like to take part, call Dorothy Gibson on 01292 885808.
