A SCOTTISH optician recently swapped specs for spokes as he took on a near-500 mile charity challenge to raise funds to tackle homelessness.
Adrian McCann from Kirkcaldy joined his Specsavers colleagues Richard Curtis and John Adams to take on a 478m, seven-day, London to Edinburgh charity cycle.
McCann, who works as the optometrist director of Specsavers in Leven and Cupar, said: “Many people are facing challenging times, and one vulnerable group in dire need are those without a place to call home. “During the cycle we faced some awful weather conditions and our limbs were aching, but it was worth it to make a difference to this amazing charity.”When Specsavers across Scotland first heard about McCann’s challenge, they joined forces to contribute £5000 to the fundraising campaign to ensure it got off to a positive start.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
