This Saturday is Armed Forces Day and members of an Inverness based motorcycle club will be carrying a 70kg dummy all of the way up Ben Wyvis, to raise funds to support former service men and women.
Ten members of Inverness Motorcycle Club called Born to Lose, have been in training over the past month, to get ready for their challenge. The club has raised over £3,500 to support charities in the past few years and this year they are hoping to raise as much money as possible for Help for Heroes. The Help for Heroes logo is two people carrying someone on a stretcher, so the Motorcycle club came up with the idea of doing this in their ambitious challenge.
