Almost 500 runners took to the streets of Thornhill at the weekend to take part in the village’s first ever 10k race in honour of a farmer who died from a rare form of cancer at the age of just 54.
Thornhill 10k, held on Sunday, was created in memory of Steven Black and raised more than £6,000 for the Beatson Cancer Charity.
In February last year, we told how the Thornhill farmer had been on the holiday of a lifetime with his wife Pam – a cruise of South America – to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. It was on the trip that Mr Black lost his appetite and his symptoms worsened.
