Donna is a active member of the Forfar Road Runners club and spends her free time coaching children in a variety of different running events.

She joined Adele Douglas, Geoffrey Bray and Kim Dalgarno in the first group of baton bearers in the town.
Pierre has devoted a lot of his time working as a volunteer for Scoliosis Association UK. As part of his work for the charity he helps support people who have been diagnosed with the illness, as well as their families.
He was also instrumental in setting up a ball to help raise both funds and awareness for the charity which is now in it's third year.
He passed the baton to his daughter Courtney.
It's easy to see why Alex Mill is regarded as something of a local hero in Arbroath. For over 40 years he has tirelessly worked for his community, spending 30 of those years coaching youngsters in the Forfar Small Bore Rifle Club.
He has also been heavily involved in fundraising for the local rotary club as well as helping to organise events such as the local marathon.
If you are heading out to watch the baton relay today, expect to see some sunshine later.
BBC Weather's Laura Gilchrist has the latest forecast:
"A chance of a shower early this afternoon but then becoming dry with some spells of sunshine developing later. A fresh feel to the day with highs of 13C."

The sun has come out just as the baton relay arrives at Arbroath Harbour.
Baton bearer Alistair Vannet emailed us this photo. He managed to grab a quick selfie with the two police officers who accompanied him on his baton run in Monifieth earlier.
Although, technically, it looks like the police officer is taking the photo for him. Does that make it a "policie"?
