Wristbands raise £300 for cancer charity
A TRANENT teenager has raised hundreds of pounds for a cancer charity after watching her boyfriend battle the disease.
Erin Conlon, of Sanderson's Grove, designed and sold 200 wristbands at 2 each to family and friends to raise 300 for Teenage Cancer Trust.
The 17-year-old decided to fundraise for the charity after her boyfriend, Aaron McGinn, was diagnosed with Nodular Lymphocyte Predominant Hodgkin's disease in May last year.
