Sister raises £10,000 in Mark's name

MORE than £10,000 has been raised in memory of a man who died from a brain tumour.

Mark Wagenbichler, from Musselburgh, was 60 when he passed away last year.

Now his sister Mary Malcolm, also 60, has injected a significant level of cash into Brain Tumour UK after a fundraising ball.

She said: "He took a brain tumour in June 2009. We hoped he'd be with us for two years, but we only got to 4 November.

"He was given the last rites on my 60th birthday, 24 October, when he was just able to open his eyes and give my hand a wee squeeze. He couldn't speak and went into a coma soon afterwards."
