Monifieth mother Fiona Edwards has now raised £25,000 selling her homemade tablet.

A receptionist in the College of Life Sciences at Dundee University, Mrs Edwards handed over her latest donation this week to Professor Alastair Thompson, a breast cancer specialist in the Medical School at Ninewells Hospital.

Fiona, who had treatment for breast cancer nine years ago, has been making tablet to raise cash for breast cancer research locally since 2003. A fitness fanatic, the mother of two sells her tablet at running events around Tayside and Fife and to the students and staff in the College of Life Sciences.

Over the past year she has made sales of £4,200 money she presented to Prof Thompson on Tuesday.

”This has been another big year for me and I must say a big thank you once again to all of the people who have bought the tablet,” Fiona said. ”I’ve had lots of support again this year, from runners at events right across Tayside, students at the university, people at my gym and all over.”

Accepting the cheque, Professor Thompson said: ”We are hugely indebted to Fiona for the magnificent contribution she makes to supporting cancer research, and breast cancer in particular.

”I can also vouch for the quality of the tablet, which is delicious!”
