Former Perth High School pupil Sally Reid to be joined by golf-daft dad Martin, older brother Nicholas and family friend Neil McLeod for a four-day, 250-mile challenge stopping off at the seven Scottish venues which have hosted Open Championships
Scot Squad actress Sally Reid has teed-up a poignant charity cycle in memory of the mum she lost to cancer, writes Gordon Bannerman.
“While the others are keen cyclists, I am terrible on a bike so I’m venturing well out of my comfort zone,” admitted Sally , who is gearing-up for the ‘Go for Flo Open Challenge for Maggie’s’ which begins on July 12. Sally has been getting great support from the Scots acting community, including celebrity pals Blythe Duff and fellow Perth-born actor Colin McCredie of Taggart fame, Scot Squad colleagues Jordan and Julie Wilson Nimmo, Still Game’s Greg Hemphill and panto kings Grant Stott and Barrie Hunter.
The seeds of the challenge were sown during a cycle run and Martin and Sally will be joined by Craigie Hill Golf Club member Nicholas and retired Perth GP and fellow St Andrews Club member Neil. She added: “But she used it to her advantage, getting together with other wives to see a lot of Scotland while the boys were away.A long-time member of the Perth Rock Choir, Flo enjoyed singing with the Maggie’s Choir during her treatment.
