GLASWEGIANS are being asked to support the Beatson Cancer Charity by wearing yellow to work at the end of the month.

Turn It Yellow Day will take place on Thursday April, 29 and will ask employees to wear yellow as well as turning their workplace yellow as part of the fundraiser.

It comes as part of the Beatson Cancer Charity's campaign to raise money for a new MRI scanner.

Ethne McPherson, Head of Therapeutic Radiography at The Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre, said: “This MRI scanner allows us to visualise and outline tumours at a whole new level. Words cannot describe how valuable this is to future Radiotherapy planning and treatment.

“It is such a fun idea to get everyone out in bold, beautiful yellow! I’ll keep my eyes peeled on the wards and in the town to see if people are dressed up like me.

“Each pound raised by people having a bit of fun does more good than you think. We’re really excited about this new scanner and to have fun getting the money together for it is great.”

To donate, individual fundraisers can text 70450 to donate a £10, or offices can get involved by visiting beatsoncancercharity.org/mri.
