Ice hockey stars are backing a student nurse raising money for a cancer charity while she goes through gruelling chemotherapy.
The professional hockey players at Braehead-based Glasgow Clan are literally giving the shirt of their backs to support 20-year-old Alix Maitland’s fundraising for Lymphoma Action after she was diagnosed with cancer.
Alix, from Paisley, hadn’t been showing any symptoms and was shocked when doctors gave her the devastating news that the pea-sized lump in her neck was stage four Hodgkin’s Lymphoma that had spread to her neck, chest, spleen and bones.
