THE new mayor of Brierfield, Coun Rizwan Ashgar, has raised around £200 for Macmillan Cancer Support after taking part in a charity run.
Coun Ashgar completed the 10k run in Manchester to raise the funds for the charity.
He chose Macmillan after they had supported his mum, Tahira Sultana, 56, who is currently suffering with cancer.
