HILLBILLIES GOOD HELP:
BIG hearted bikers have been helping their neighbours by raising £200 to help with a young girls hair replacement.
Members of the local motorcycle club, the Ayrshire Hillbillies, made the donation to the Novantae MCC from Kirkconnel to help Louise Steel.
Louise suffered hair loss due to medical treatment and money is being raised to help replace her hair.
Pictured is Louise with her sister and parents receiving a cheque from founding member and past president Kenny McColm. Kenny and his wife Diane had been attending a Novantae function when they heard about Louise and offered to get the Hillbillies to help, resulting in a donation of £200.
