City parents up for award

TWO Edinburgh parents have been nominated for a national award after raising more than £8000 for eating disorders charity Beat.

Keith and Sarah McCall raised money for the charity after their daughter Laura suffered from eating disorders for many years.

The couple raised 3000 through a golf challenge and also led a team in the Edinburgh Marathon to boost the charity's coffers. They have been shortlisted for the Fundraising Champion award, with winners due to be announced at the House of Commons on December 6.
