Lanarkshire mum helps raise nearly £2k for ward which saved her son's life

A mum on a fundraising mission for the ward which saved son's life after he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer has raised more than £1500 - with a little help from her friends.

Sharlene Cannon - along with pals Rosemary Davidson, Sandra Garry, Anne Barr and Danielle McKendrick - completed the 22.6 mile Kiltwalk last weekend after her 11-year-old son, Mark, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia last August.

The cash raised will go to the Schiehallion ward of the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow where Mark spent six long months battling cancer.
