A cheque was presented to Amanda Harris from Cancer Research UK.

Ken McKie chairman was overwhelmed with the amount of sponsor money raised and also the many donations and collections received, along with proceeds from Maggie's Kitchen which provided tea, coffee and home bakes at the start and the finish of the event. Including the Gift Aid approximately £5,000 was raised for the charity.
