LINGERIE entrepreneur Michelle Mone helped raise thousands for a leading cancer charity yesterday when she hosted a 100th birthday lunch in Glasgow.
The Ultimo owner was joined by singers Maureen and Linda Nolan to help celebrate the Macmillan Cancer Support anniversary.
The event, I’m in the Mood...for Lunch, was held at private members’ club 29 in the city centre and is expected to raise around £10,000 for the charity.
Both Linda, 52, and her sister Anne Nolan, 61, have recovered from breast cancer during the past decade and last year it was revealed that their sister Bernie, 50, was also fighting the disease.
The lunch was also attended by Marlene Smith, wife of former SFA boss Gordon Smith, who has raised more than £25,000 by hosting coffee mornings in Kilmarnock.
She said: “Macmillan Cancer Support not only helps the sufferer but the family as well by offering assistance in the form of nurses, transport, unexpected costs and helplines for this devastating illness.”
Macmillan Cancer Support is also preparing for its annual fundraising event, the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning on September 30.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
