“This was for my dad, and for every family going through the same thing.” https://bit.ly/4nTstau
Philip Moir, a 36-year-old firefighter from Greenock, recently completed Ben Nevis with eight other firefighters, all from different stations 🚒 They climbed the 4,413 ft mountain wearing full fire gear and have successfully raised over £7,500 for MND Scotland 💙
Philip and the team took on the challenge in honour of Philip’s father, Peter Moir, who was diagnosed with MND in March 2024. He said, “Our family received so much support from MND Scotland, MND nurses, and MND specialists. After he was diagnosed, time just went by so quickly.”
To prepare for their challenge, Philip and the team regularly went to the gym and participated in multiple Monroe climbs across Scotland ⛰️ Philip said, “The kit itself weighs around 14kg, and with added accessories or attachments, the total can be anything up to about 18kg. We are very grateful to the team at Oban Training Centre for generously donating the kits for this challenge.”
We would like to thank Philip for sharing his story, and thank the team (William, David, Jordan, George, Cassian, Craig, Marc, and Jamie) for completing such an incredible challenge! Thanks also goes to the wonderful group of volunteers who helped out on the day, and to everyone who donated 💙
