Local Charity, Maritime Rescue Institute, is appealing for volunteers to run the Baker Hughes 10k in Aberdeen to raise much needed funds for its rescue services.

The Stonehaven charity relies solely on fundraising and donations to operate its lifeboat rescue service and to deliver its educational programmes. On average 23 lives at sea are saved each year and educational programmes reach over 10,000 youngsters. It is hoped that volunteers who complete the run, which takes place on 20th May this year, will be able to help raise over £2000 in total.
 

Ann Laing, Manager of MRI comments: “After a few volunteers came forward offering to run the 10k, we decided to make a campaign of it. It will hopefully give individuals something positive to work towards for themselves, as well as raising funds to help save lives at sea. We hope to make the Baker Hughes 10k an annual fixture; one that we can build on each year.”
