Good luck Ellison!
Marking her 84th birthday by cycling 84 miles, a great-grandmother's charity challenge is helping to feed some of the world’s poorest children.
Mrs Hudson, from Bridge of Allan, turned 84 in April, and was inspired to help charity Mary's Meals after seeing its work in action in Africa in 2014.Mary’s Meals serves nutritious school meals to children in some of the poorest countries in the world, and reaches 2,279,941 children every school day.
“The children were running about with their mugs full whilst the ladies were stirring big pots of porridge. It was a lovely experience and at that point I knew I wanted to do something to help its work.“Because my balance isn’t as good as it was, I bought myself a tricycle. It wasn’t as easy as you would think. I had to work at feeling confident on it. But I’m determined to do my best for such a good cause as Mary’s Meals and hope to play a part in helping them reach more hungry children.
