Dunblane mum takes on gruelling Arran 'ultra marathon' to support local teenager

A Dunblane mum has taken on a gruelling two-day ‘Arran Ultra’ challenge in support of a local youngster living with a brain tumour.

Valerie Storrie, 45, completed the 60 mile event around the island, scaling mountain peaks and crossing rivers and bogs as she ticked off two marathons in two days, despite fighting Covid in the closing weeks of her preparations.

It was all completed to raise money for the Brain Tumour Charity after 14-year-old Finn Clarke - a close friend of Valerie’s son - was given the initial shock diagnosis on Hogmanay in 2019.
