Blair backs marathon bid

A MARATHON attempt to raise money for sufferers of a psychological condition has won the backing of a city-born rugby star.

Scotland international Mike Blair is supporting the fundraising efforts of Edinburgh man Mike Malcolm-Smith, who wants to raise cash for obsessive compulsive disorder victims.

Both men have friends with the condition.

Mr Malcolm Smith is running in May's Edinburgh Marathon for charity OCD Action.
