SITE patron goes for gold!
Our patron Aileen McGlynn is competing for Team GB in Cycling at the Paralympic games in London.
Aileen, who is visually impaired, is competing in cycling as part of the 27 strong Scottish contingent, Aileen already boasts three gold medals from the 2008 and 2004 games in Beijing and Athens. She cites Sir Chris Hoy as her inspiration and will be seeking to emulate his achievements in London, with pilot Fiona Duncan.
I am sure that all who support SITE would join with us in wishing Aileen well in her endeavours to bring back another gold medal.
