Tha Màiri NicRisnidh a' brosnachadh na càirdean is na nàbannan gu strì an aghaidh aillse le na clàir fuine! Mairi MacRitchie rallies friends to fight cancer with their baking!

'Se fìor Uibhisteach a th'ann am Màiri NicRisnidh - agus cleas mòran dhe a càirdean agus a nàbannan, 's gann gun cùm i a crògan a-mach a pocan mine. Màthair òg le dithis chloinne - ach tha ciall dlùth, pearsanta aig fuine do Mhàiri. Bha a màthair sgoinneil air bèiceireachd - ach chaochail i le aillse brollaich nuair nach robh Màiri ach ceithir bliadhn' deug. Tha Màiri neisd a'miannachadh na sgilean còcaireachd a thug i bhuaipe a chuir gu feum - a'togail airgid airson carthannas aillse.

Mairi MacRitchie is a true Uibhisteach. Like many of her family and neighbours she can hardly keep her hands out of a bag of flour. But for this young mother of two, baking has a deeply personal significance. Mairi's mother was a brilliant baker - but died of breast cancer when Mairi was only 14. Now Mairi wants to put her inherited kitchen skills to good use - to raise money for a leading cancer charity.
