Maya McLaughlin (9) of Lennoxtown passed away from Burkitt’s lymphoma in 2010 after a relapse from remission.

The team of seven, led by Denise Gardner, are taking part in the Great Woman’s 10k on Sunday, May 17 in aid of charity Calum’s Cabin, which provides holiday respite 
for families coping with terminal illness.
