Story

"1 in 2 people born in the UK will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their lifetime." This statistic touches so many lives, and this year it feels especially close to our hearts at SPCU.

Our Deputy CEO Lynsey has been diagnosed with cancer this year and George Nedley & Klaire Klos from Scottish Police Credit Union along with Karen Wallace from Right Way Credit Union are running the AJ Bell Great Scottish Run 2026, taking on the 10k and half marathon on 4 October 2026 in support of Maggie's Center's on her behalf.

Cancer affects not only the person diagnosed, but also the families, friends, and colleagues who stand beside them. Our journey has made this deeply personal, and we have seen first-hand how much strength, comfort, and hope can come from compassionate support. Maggie's Centre's has been a welcoming place of care and encouragement, offering free emotional, practical, and social support when it is needed most.

We are aiming to raise £1000, and every donation will bring us closer to that goal. Please support us if you can, share our page, and help us make a meaningful difference together. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
