A store assistant from Aldi’s Dunfermline branch is running the London Marathon for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Kathy Hill (58), a store assistant from Aldi’s Dunfermline shop is preparing to pound the pavements in support of the worthy cause this Sunday (April 21).

Aldi has supported Teenage Cancer Trust since 2017 and last week announced it was extending its fundraising target to £15 million by 2027. This surpasses the initial target of £10 million, three years ahead of schedule.

With almost four years of service at Aldi Scotland, Kathy is dedicated to making a difference in her local community. She began training in January for the marathon after applying on a whim with her children.

"I am incredibly grateful for the support I've received from colleagues and customers at Aldi, especially as my training has been quite intensive," she said. "Their encouragement has been a driving force behind my marathon journey, and I'm honoured to have had the opportunity to give back to such a worthy cause.”

Graham Nicolson, managing director at Aldi Scotland, added: "We are immensely proud of our longstanding partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust and the impactful work we've accomplished together. Surpassing our initial fundraising target of £10 million three years ahead of schedule is a testament to the dedication and generosity of our colleagues and customers.”
