A Dundee student is undertaking a 23-mile Kiltwalk this month to raise money for multiple sclerosis.

Third-year student Claire Boyle will take on the Royal Bank of Scotland Kiltwalk in memory of her mother, Margaret Theresa Kane, who unexpectedly passed away in 2016.

Ms Boyle will join more than 1000 other walkers, including her sister Louise Boyle and friend Jen MacPhail, as she raises money for the MS Society.

She said: "Growing up with my mum being diagnosed with primary progressive MS and later, my father diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS, the illness has been a massive part of my life.

"I can barely begin to explain the impact MS can have on the lives of the individuals, families, and friends involved.

"What is important is that developments are being made, but more progress and awareness is necessary if we can begin to help others."

Ms Boyle and her team have already walked 60km each in training for the event on Sunday, April 29.

The Royal Bank of Scotland underwrites fundraisers' total amount raised by 40%, thanks to the help of The Hunter Foundation.

She hopes that the money she raises will help to remove some of the hardship on other people's lives affected by MS.

She continued: "It's hard to imagine what life would have been like if MS hadn't appeared.

"Despite the wonderful happy life my mum had, it would have been incredible to take that burden away.

"I hope that with this fundraising, I can help remove some of the hardship on other people's lives who are affected by MS."
