Good effort in the long run
Staff from the laboratory medicine department took to Glasgow’s wet and windy roads to compete in the 2017 Great Scottish Run.
The 18 members of staff completed either a 10k run or a half marathon in aid of St Andrews Hospice.
To date, the team have raised an impressive £2,935.00.
Dr Manjit Singh, biochemistry department, said: “When I started the running group, I was not sure how many people would want to take part. However, staff were very keen to join in.
“We chose to raise money for St Andrews Hospice because it is our local and very worthy charity. We also carry out a lot of lab investigations for hospice patients.
“Each individual member of the team set his/her own target according to their individual fitness level.”
For their efforts, the team were presented with a plaque by the Great Run Company.
