‘Hairy coos’ raise money for Tayside pelvic floor clinical group at Ninewells

A Dundee man has donated £1500 to the pelvic floor clinical group at Ninewells Hospital by selling ‘hairy coo’ calendars.

For the past two years, Roddy McLeod has raised money for ward 10 and the endoscopy unit at Ninewells by painting pictures of ‘hairy coos’ and turning them into a calendar to sell.

After the success of the past two years, Roddy decided to do it again and this time raise money for the Tayside pelvic floor clinical group.

Roddy said, “The first time we raised money it was to thank ward 10 for looking after my daughter Kirsty. Now we are donating money to all the gastro related wards so other patients can benefit.

“Every year we sell more and more calendars and I am going to try and sell even more next year!”

Accepting the cheque, consultant Dorin Ziyaie, said, “I would like to thank Roddy for turning his talent into something special and raising money for the group. The money he has raised will benefit patients in our group.”
