Local MP Hails Tremendous Effort at Turriff Relay for Life

Banff & Buchan MP Eilidh Whiteford has hailed the tremendous effort of local fundraisers at the Turriff Relay for Life event which saw over £90,000 being raised this weekend for Cancer Research.

The local MP, who was present at the launch of this year’s event and also attended and spoke at the last event four years ago, praised the efforts of the local community in raising such a magnificent sum.

Commenting, Eilidh said:

“Relay for Life is such an inspiring event and it was an honour to be asked back to speak at it once again.

“The efforts made by all those who took part and contributed to raising such a tremendous sum are worthy of a special mention.

“I must also commend Lynne Cruickshank and her fellow committee members who have brought this event together with their unstinting hard work. Well done to everyone involved.”
