@NHSGrampian Great to see Aven having fun and staying safe. The 🧠🚴 combo does invite me to say that @friendsofneuro are among the charities that have places available for @ride_the_north 2024. 70/100 miles on the backroads of Angus. There are lots of other worthy causes too of course!!

A huge thanks to @GrampianCSC for their support at a recent fundraiser. A member asked for some of the proceeds to come to us in recognition of the care his dad received during a long stay at NRU. Lovely to meet Garry + Chris as they handed over £1,250. Thank you! 💛
