Science community supports Edinburgh cancer charity

More than £2,000 was raised for Maggie's Edinburgh cancer charity by 13 teams of scientists, researchers and support staff who took part in the biggest Knockout Silver Challenge to date at the 126-acre Pioneer Group - Edinburgh Technopole site, within Midlothian Science Zone.

Teams competed in a number of challenges - including Rowdy Raptors, Loopy Ladders, Knockout Airways and Bubble Pit Bonanza. John Mackenzie, Director (Scotland) at Pioneer Group, said: “It was great seeing some of this country’s brightest people, who are usually working in their labs on some really high-level stuff, let down their hair, have serious fun and at the same time help raise money for such a deserving cause.”
