AN 88-YEAR-OLD Borders man has completed hundreds of miles on his rowing machine to help a hospital in Africa.
Ex-teacher Kenneth Hall, who lives in Clovenfords, carried out the exercise between April 23-25 for this year’s virtual Kiltwalk.
He has raised thousands of pounds to help fund a digital X-ray system for the Bardai Hospital in northern Chad.
Mr Hall told the
Border Telegraph he is “feeling very happy”, adding: “People have been very generous.”
Before taking on the challenge, Mr Hall managed to raise £12,300 with the help of friends, family, fellow church-goers and the Hunter Foundation.
