Tommy goes the extra 26 miles for cash

THE charity Breast Cancer Care is to get a boost from the fundraising efforts of Portobello man Tommy Alexander.

Mr Alexander, 40, is taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon on May 27 to raise money for the charity, after the disease affected his grandmother, aunt and sister.

The advertising and PR consultant said: “I am running for Breast Cancer Care because several members of my family have at some point in their lives been diagnosed with the condition.
