A poetry exhibition staged by two Edinburgh sisters will open on Friday at North Edinburgh Arts and will run until 29 October.

Rachel Barr, who lives in Leith, was diagnosed with glioblastoma on Christmas Eve last year. She has now had surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Glioblastoma is a grade 4 brain tumour, the most common and aggressive in adults.

During her recovery, Rachel began writing poetry which will now be on display along with artwork created by her sister, Bridget Grant.

The exhibition will run between 16 and 29 October at North Edinburgh Arts, Macmillan Hub, 12C Macmillan Square, Edinburgh, EH4 4AB.

The exhibition will also be used as a fundraiser for the charity Brain Tumour Support.
