Cathy Reeder is raising money for Beatson Cancer Charity

Off The Beatson Track · 30 August 2026 · Start fundraising for this event

Our annual fun-filled 10K sponsored walk around Glasgow's west end, sponsored by Allied Vehicles, returns for the 13th year!

Story

After a rollercoaster few months, I wanted to share something personal.

In February, I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer. It's been an incredibly difficult journey, but thanks to the amazing team at the Beatson in Glasgow, I've now started a new clinical trial that has given me hope.

To show our gratitude and help support the incredible work they do, my family and I will be taking part in Off the Beatson Track to raise funds for this fabulous hospital.

If you're able to support us in any way, whether by donating or simply sharing this post, it would mean so much. Every penny helps the Beatson continue providing outstanding care, treatment, and research for patients like me.

Finally, I'd like to apologise to anyone hearing this news for the first time through Facebook. It wasn't an easy thing to share, and I hope you understand.

Thank you all for your love, support, and kindness—it truly means the world to me. 💙

Thank you for being part of this journey 💛
