A KIND Greenock woman has publicly pledged to celebrate her 30th birthday by running a 10K for Inverclyde Women's Aid.

Ainsley Black has been training every day to raise money for the organisation, which helps women, children and young people who are affected by domestic abuse.

Ainsley says the organisation helped her through difficult times and now she wants to give something back by taking on the challenge.
