Coalburn girls smash Cancer Research fundraising total
Last year 16-year-olds Hannah Mitchell, Kristi Aikman, Courtney Meikle and Jenni Dyet successfully completed the Race for Life raising £1,800 for the cancer charity.
However, this year the Lesmahagow High pupils were unable to commit to the training due to exams. But the girls were undeterred and organised a charity night in Coalburn Miners Welfare which featured entertainment and a raffle.
