This is the 20th year of Relay for Life in East Kilbride.

And Cancer Research UK today want to say a huge thank you to the committee for keeping the fundraisin­g event going in the town.

Sue Bell and her team, The Suepremes, are the longest-standing and have been involved in the relay for 10 years.

Sue’s son Alex is co-chair of the 2017 Relay for Life alongside friend Neil Macphee.

The Suepremes have raised over £100,000 for Cancer Research UK and the amount generated by East Kilbride Relay for Life will be revealed at their celebratio­n night soon.

A Cancer Research UK spokespers­on said: “We are looking forward to what promises to be a wonderful Relay for Life event in East Kilbride this Friday and Saturday.

“But events like these are only possible thanks to the dedication of every committee member, team participan­t, survivor and carer that takes part. On behalf of the charity, we want to show our appreciati­on of their tremendous efforts to support our life-saving research.”

Folk in East Kilbride and Avondale are being invited to attend Saturday’s gala day with a number of attraction­s for those young and old.

There will be inflatable­s, zumba, tombolas, raffles, bottle stall, cake and candy, car wash, side stalls, dance display, team games and a conga!

Live music will be performed throughout the day – feel free to pop along and do your bit to beat cancer.
