Ross congratulates Forres fundraiser
Douglas Ross MSP has commended Forres fundraiser Tish Murray for making more than £42,000 for Breast Cancer Care.
Mrs Murray has organised sales of tomato and vegetable plants from her home on Victoria Road, for the past twenty years with all the profits going to the charity.
She recently received a letter of thanks from their chief executive thanking her for efforts, stating that she has contributed £42,012 since she started her local plant sales.
Congratulating her on her achievements, Mr Ross said: “Mrs Murray’s track record is remarkable, especially because she grows and sells all the plants from her home.”
He added: “I understand that Breast Cancer has affected Mrs Murray’s own family and I would like to commend her for her work highlighting the charity, which offers support to sufferers and their families.
“To raise this amount of money from selling plants is no mean feat, and I know that she is well regarded in the town.
“To celebrate her achievement I have submitted a motion in the Parliament and I would like to offer her my sincere congratulations.”
