Race night raises £1,409 for charity
A SELKIRK joiner raised more than£1,400 at a race night in the town on Saturday.
The event, followed by a disco, at O’Malley’s bar raised £1,409 towards the £2,000 Philip Hermiston has to raise to take part in the London Marathon for the children’s charity NSPCC.
Mr Hermiston said: “It’s absolutely amazing we raised that much at the race night and I want to say thanks to the sponsors and to everybody who turned up.”
The 32-year-old ran Glasgow half-marathon four years ago and is in training for his first 26-miler in the capital in April.
The dad-of-two said: “I am running on behalf of the NSPCC as I feel it is a very worthwhile charity and hopefully will make a difference to some children who need help and support.”
He works for PJ and PA Hermiston in the town and he and wife Hayley have three-year-old Arran and Phoebe, who is just over six weeks old.
