FEARLESS Portree resident Mary MacDougall expects to raise more than £1,300 from her recent abseil from the iconic Forth Bridge, writes Mark Entwiste.
The event took place on October 15, when Mary joined nearly 600 other participants from all over Scotland to take a leap of faith from the iconic red bridge, raising an incredible total of £124,000 for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS).
To date Mary has raised £1,300 for the charity, with more money still coming in. ‘It was a fantastic experience and was so well organised. I loved every minute of the descent and would encourage others to take part in this unique fundraising event,’ said Mary after her feet had finally touched down on terra firma.
