A tragic mum who refunded £300,000 which she'd raised for cancer treatment has died.

Roz Paterson, from Beauly, sadly lost her brave fight against an aggressive form of blood cancer on Monday at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness.

The 52-year-old mum-of-two, who previously worked for the Daily Record, was first diagnosed with lymphoma cancer last summer.

Roz had previously launched a fundraising campaign for treatment in the US.

She wanted to travel to the US for Car-T Cell therapy because her cancer is resistant to chemotherapy.
