AN ARDROSSAN teen raised four times her fund-raising target as she took on Cancer Research’s Race for Life 5K run.

Rebekkah Aitken, 16, took to the Irvine route and completed the race in a time of 43 minutes.

The teen also checked her GoFundMe page after the race to see how close she was to her £50 fund-raising goal - only to find out she had raised an amazing £200!

Rebekkah said: “I was over the moon because more needs to be done to provide better treatments for cancer as it has affected so many people's lives.”

Her fund-raising page is still open for donations at tinyurl.com/mr4696ka.
