Story

On the 3rd of October, Hilary and Melissa are taking on Battle Cancer Scotland as part of a team of four — pushing, pulling, lifting and sweating their way through one of the toughest charity fitness events out there.

They’re doing it for The Lavender Touch, a Scottish Borders charity that has supported Hilary’s sister throughout her cancer treatment.

Every donation, big or small, helps The Lavender Touch continue providing vital support to people living with cancer across the Borders.

If you’re able to contribute, they’d be so grateful. And if not, a share or a cheer goes a long way too.
