A volunteer with the RNLI in Largs swapped her yellow wellies for trainers as she took on her 10th marathon to raise funds for the charity.

Claire McRae completed the 26.2 mile London Marathon, her latest fundraising endeavour since she started running races for the RNLI in 2013.

Over the years Claire has raised thousands of pounds to support the life-saving work of the charity, and this year is no different.

As a volunteer at Largs RNLI, Claire has seen first-hand the vital work the charity does, and she is passionate about helping to save lives at sea.

She said: "It was awesome. The support on the route was incredible, so many people out cheering and giving encouragement.
