Shetland’s bi-annual cancer charity event, Relay for Life, has beaten its own extraordinary record by raising more than £300,000.
The announcement was made during a gathering at Sound Hall to thank everyone who took part in the race at the Clickimin running track in Lerwick on May 31 and June 1.
This year’s total of £306,560.76 convincingly beat 2012’s £275,000 record.
Committee chairwoman Kerry Eunson said: “The generosity of the Shetland community is amazing, and it is incredible that we have yet again managed to beat our total from the previous relay.”
The night was also a chance to pay tribute to former committee member Alan Slater, who died in July.
The committee is planning to buy a trophy in his honour to be handed out at future events.
Ms Eunson is stepping down from her position and will be replaced by current vice-chairman Martin Henderson in 2016.
