The parents of a Dumfries teenager who died after a brave eight-year battle with a brain tumour are taking on a mammoth challenge in aid of the children’s charity that supported them through the worst years of their lives.
Gary and Kirsty Jardine are preparing to run the New York City Marathon just two months after a fundraising ball that will mark what would have been Brooke’s 18th birthday.
The couple intended to take on the 26-mile run a year after Dumfries Academy pupil Brooke died aged just 15 in October 2019, but Covid stopped them in their tracks.
