Shetland Weight Training Club Donate

A big thank-you goes to the Shetland Weight Training Club which has deposited £430 for the MRI Scanner Appeal – money raised at the door from the Strongest Man competition held in August.

Stuart Moar said the club always donated the money from the event to a charity that had relevance to its members.

“There are many of us who have travelled to Aberdeen over the years for an MRI scan,” he said, “We thought this would be a fitting cause to support this year.” Stuart explained that the weight training club worked out at Norway House in Scalloway and always welcomed new members. 

“Not all our members are training to lift cars – many are here to keep fit while enjoying a sense of camaraderie and community. Many women enjoyed the gym facilities too,” he said.

Stuart, his daughter Sophie, seven, and son, Taylor, 10, posed for a picture of the cheque handover with NHS Communications Officer Carol Campbell recently.
