Big-hearted East Kilbride locals queue two hours for charity chippie raising £13k for terminally ill teen's hospice

The family of a brave terminally ill teen who has touched the hearts of the town say they are "completely overwhelmed" by the generosity of the East Kilbride community after locals rallied and raised an incredible £13,000 for the Kilbryde Hospice.

In a heartwarming show of support for 18-year-old end-of-life cancer patient Max Jones, hundreds of locals queued for more than two hours in the blistering sun on Sunday to make a donation to the cause.

Max’s workmates at Pacini’s chip shop threw a charity fundraiser for the hospice as a thank you for the "phenomenal" care their friend has received since being admitted to Kilbryde at the start of the year.
