Kilbride BB boy raises over £2,600 for Air Ambulance NI

Ross Wylie, who is a member of the Company Section, completed a sponsored cycle from Titanic Belfast to the Giant’s Causeway.

Ross used this event to gain part of his Queen’s Badge and also raised vital funds for the Air Ambulance NI.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Cllt Jim Montgomery and Grace McWilliams from Air Ambulance NI attended Kilbride Presbyterian Church recently to meet Ross and collect the donation.

A spokesperson for 1st Kilbride BB said: “Cllr Montgomery presented Ross with a certificate of recognition for his fundraising effort and also presented 1st Kilbride BB with a plaque of the borough. This is a huge honour and we are very thankful to have received this.”
