Hide AdHis challenge formed part of SAMH’s 'virtual STOMP' fundraising event.
Ross said: “I was so pleased to complete the challenge - I’ve never hiked so much in one day before but it’s amazing to fundraise over £1500 for SAMH.
“Mental health charities like SAMH have never been more important given everything that’s been going on in recent months, so I can’t thank people enough for donating.”
He added: “We have some amazing wee hills in Fife - from the Lomond Hills, to Benarty Hill, to Largo Law, and even smaller ones like The Binn In Burntisland. I would encourage people to get out and explore these hills and their local area - Fife has so much to offer for outdoor locations and doing exercise is so beneficial for good mental health.”
