People in Lanarkshire have raised more than £72,000 for a cancer support centre.
Locals took part in various challenges from September to November to raise vital funds for Maggie's Lanarkshire in a bid to match-fund the £50,000 Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Challenge that philanthropist and well-known biscuiteer Sir Boyd Tunnock had set back in August.
Lorrie Cameron, centre head at Maggie’s Lanarkshire, said:"We are incredibly grateful that Sir Boyd Tunnock has supported Maggie’s with a match-funding pledge up to £50,000 for the third time. "Maggie’s relies entirely on voluntary donations from individuals and companies to enable our professional team to be able to provide specialist cancer support, psychological support and benefits advice for everyone who needs it.
