West Lothian Love Island winner Paige Turley has raised almost £4,000 in memory of a local man who tragically died last year.
The star, from Fauldhouse, completed the London Landmarks Half Marathon yesterday in memory of Jamie Aitchison.
Jamie, who was said by pals to have an infectious smile, had been reported missing in the days leading up to his death.

Paige said she wanted to do something in memory of the 20-year-old, who also came from Fauldhouse while raising money for Mental Health Uk.
On her Just Giving page, Paige said: “In December last year my hometown sadly lost another friend, son, brother, grandson and upstanding guy, Jamie Aitchison aged 20, after he sadly lost his battle against the scourge of mental health.
“The tragic news has left a hole in many people's hearts with many in the community struggling to come to terms with the loss of Jamie, who was the light in a dark room."
She continued: “Unfortunately, this is news that is heard all too often with mental health reported to be affecting one in four people in the UK.
“Mental health although not visible is equally important as physical health, therefore it’s vital that there is support and help available to everyone who is in need.
“For anyone who is experiencing mental health difficulties or thoughts of suicide please reach out, speak to family or loved ones and contact Mental Health UK or in an emergency 999. Don’t suffer alone."

Finally she added: "The work these charities do and the help they put in place is seriously incredible, as well as help for anyone affected by suicide.
“Please reach out to friends and ask how they are, ask twice.. you never know what someone is hiding behind a smile. Jamie’s smile was most definitely the brightest in the room.”
