A VETERAN runner who has raised more than £16,000 for breast cancer charity Walk The Walk is donning her decorated bra once again to walk a double marathon round the streets where she lives – and will do it all again a month later! Margaret MacLeod, 60, took up marathon running at the age of 50, and has now completed six official Walk The Walk ‘Over The Moon’ events, which see participants complete 52 miles in less than 14 hours. While walkers of the virtual Over The Moon this year are being given a longer, 36-hour time limit, Margaret has decided to push herself to stay within 14 hours.
VOLUNTEERS left their presents and home comforts behind on Christmas Day to deliver tasty dinners to people throughout Haddington and surrounding villages. More than a dozen kind souls helped Our Community Kitchen to prepare and deliver piping hot meals to about 30 people in the community, who also received gifts. Turkey with all the trimmings, including roast potatoes, stuffing, parsnip and Brussels sprouts, were hand delivered, with some people even crying with gratitude. Youngsters at Haddington Primary School and Knox Academy’s Meadowpark had also made Christmas cards for those receiving the meals. Our Community Kitchen was formed in 2018 to tackle social isolation by bringing people together at Haddington Bowling Club for some food and a chat.
