A TARBERT marathon runner presented a cheque to the Beat-son Cancer Charity last week after embarking on an arduous challenge to raise funds for the Scottish organisation.

Carolyn McAlpine, 33, took time out of her day job at the Argyll and Bute Council headquarters to present some of the team from the charity with a cheque for £15,029, the final fundraising total raised from her Mega Marathon.
Carolyn embarked on a gruelling challenge last year to complete 15 marathons in 15 days across the entire catchment area of the charity on the West Coast of Scotland.
Having successfully trudged 393 miles in almost a fortnight, she was pleased to finally present the Beatson Cancer Charity with a cheque for the money raised from her exploits. As well as the fundraising, Carolyn is keen to raise awareness of the huge area the charity serves and the difficulty some people experience when accessing treatment.
