10k call from Macmillan

AN Edinburgh cancer charity has launched a campaign to recruit local residents to run the Glasgow Women's 10K.

Macmillan Cancer Support is hoping scores of women across Edinburgh and the Lothians will sign up to join Team Macmillan and help raise vital cash to fund cancer services.

The race will take place on May 8.

Fundraising manager for Edinburgh, Pamela Williamson, said: "Macmillan relies almost entirely on donations to fund our vital cancer services, so we are really hoping a lot of local people will take on this run for us."
