Two women have organised a Santa Fun Run which will take place tomorrow (Sunday) to raise money for charity.
Louise Dewar (39) and Emily Mitchell (35) have places to run in this year’s London Marathon and are arranging a Santa Fun Run in Alloa.
Louise said: “I'm running the London Marathon next year to celebrate my 40th birthday and in memory of gran who passed away with lung cancer in 2013. This why I wanted to run for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.
“Emily applied to support me with training and to help with fundraising, and Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation kindly offered us both a place.”
Louise has run over ten marathons before and numerous half marathons. Emily and Louise hope to raise over £500 from the Santa Fun Run.

“We are super grateful for their support.
