Pair pull on their running shoes for a good cause

TWO local runners are set to take on the Edinburgh Marathon to raise money for an international aid agency.

James Hardie from Newington and Padraig Looney, who lives in Marchmont, will raise money for the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund by taking part in the marathon on Sunday 31 May.

They hope to raise more than £1,000 in sponsorship between them.
