Cash Mounts Up

MEMBERS of Mount Vernon, a club within Liberton, raised almost £10,000 at its sixth annual fundraiser in aid of Edinburgh's Marie Curie Hospice.

"Elaine Gardner, the wife of one of our members, passed away at the Marie Curie Hospice shortly after our Sportsman's Breakfast so this year we have dedicated the money to her memory with the money once again going to the Marie Curie," said organiser Hugh Roarty.

The Mount Vernon members have now raised more than 30,000 in the last six years through the annual event.
