Charity walk to raise funds for disease

FUNDRAISERS are setting off on a five-mile walk from Edinburgh Castle to raise money for the fight against bowel cancer.

Organised by Bowel Cancer UK, the event will see participants leave the Castle's esplanade and walk down the Royal Mile, before going around Holyrood Park and finishing up at the Scottish Parliament.

Andrew Moffatt, director of fundraising at Bowel Cancer UK, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to get together with your family and friends and do something amazing for both the awareness of bowel cancer and your own health.
