Lifeboat supporters keep on running! Scotland's first People's Marathon was run in Edinburgh on September 5 and a third of the funds raised in the sponsorship which is to be dispersed by the organisers, the South-East Scotland Round Table, will be donated to Dunbar lifeboat appeal. Of the 3,100 runners who took part in the marathon, battling through wind and rain, the fourth woman to finish was Marjorie Thorns; she raised £135 for Dundee ladies' guild, of which her mother, Mrs T. H. Thorns, is president. photograph by courtesy of The Scotsman.
