A survey form completed by Borders MP David Mundell has given a motor neuron disease (MND) charity a welcome boost.
The Scottish Secretary took time to give his views on a variety of topical subjects when he noticed that a charity of his choice would benefit.
He opted to donate the Â£200 offered by the research organisation to the My Name5 Doddie Foundation which was set up last year by former Scotland rugby union internationalist Doddie Weir after he was diagnosed as having MND.
Mr Mundell had previously been impressed by the efforts of constituent Hilary Carmichael, of Forest Cottages, Boreland, a prolific local charity fundraiser and rugby fan, who has organised a number of events for Doddies foundation.
