Mark Thorley to trek across Pyrenees in aid of Follicular Lymphoma Foundation
Anderson Strathern director and part-time sheriff Mark Thorley is soon to be embarking on a challenging walk across the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.
It is around 540 miles and will take him an estimated 52 days.
Mr Thorley is taking the challenge on to raise funds for the Follicular Lymphoma Foundation (FLF). A family friend’s son is living with the condition but is currently well and he and his wife welcomed a baby this year.
Mr Thorley has always been interested in the outdoors, particularly trekking and climbing and has successfully completed many of the long-distance routes in Scotland.
He hopes to raise awareness of FL and, most importantly, gain lots of donations for the FLF to help its mission of finding better treatments and a cure for FL.
