Cyclist to attempt 24-hour endurance event
Fraser Law, from the Gyle, has entered the Cycle the World Challenge, which will see riders race day and night around the 1.3-mile circuit at Knockhill, near Dunfermline, in a bid to travel 18,296 miles.
The 31-year-old logistics manager for Selex Galileo said: “I am myself dyslexic and although my disability is minor compared to the disabilities that can be supported by Enable Scotland I understand the importance a support network like this can provide.

The distance he must cover is the same travelled by record-breaking round-the-world cyclist Mark Beaumont, who said: “This is a completely unique and brilliant challenge, especially as it is raising the profile and essential funds for Enable Scotland.”
