braved difficult conditions to complete the West Highland Way, the Airdrie and Coatbridge Advertiser reports.<\/p>\n<p>The men were joined on the 96-mile trek by soldiers from the 32 Signal Regiment (Volunteers).<\/p>\n<p>Fundraiser Tom Kerr said of the decision to support a military charity: &quot;We chose H4H because of the contacts some of our party have in the armed services and because it is a really great cause.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>H4H Lanarkshire co-ordinator Chic Doyle was delighted to receive the cheque for &pound;2,704.41, labelling the donation as fantastic and he praised everyone who took part in the walk.<\/p>\n<p>One of those involved, Coatbridge resident Davy McGuire, suffered a bad fall and had to be airlifted away in order to receive treatment, with the group joking it meant they were able to get the RAF involved as well.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Samantha Thompson<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801510557-ADNFCR\"
