Edinburgh opticians have marathon in sight
The teams at Specsavers Gyle Centre and Specsavers Straiton will be donating funds from their Just Giving page to Sight Scotland, which will go towards continuing to support people in Scotland living with sight loss, as well as providing education and support for their families.
The marathon, taking place in May, will see four members of staff from the stores will run just over 26 miles across the capital as part of the annual challenge.

Hide AdIan Hobson, store director at Specsavers Gyle Centre and Specsavers Straiton, says: ‘As an optical practice, supporting a charity such as Sight Scotland which provides care for thousands of people across the country suffering from sight loss is incredibly important to us, so we are delighted to be able to fundraise for them.
‘I’m extremely proud of everyone who’s taking part in the marathon to raise funds for a vital service which supports so many people in the Edinburgh area, and I’d like to thank everyone who has already kindly donated.’
