Capital student to tackle marathon for Sick Kids

A STUDENT from the capital is to run the Edinburgh Marathon to raise money for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation.

India Dodgson, 23, a volunteer with the charity, will run the 26-mile event in May — her first attempt at the race. The Heriot-Watt student said: “I volunteer at the Drop-In Centre on Thursday evenings and I love it — we have lots of fun.

“It is a great place for the parents and family members of children to come and relax. The staff and other volunteers are brilliant.”
