Railway workers have chosen MND Scotland as their nominated charity for the next three years.
The organisation, which helps people with motor neurone disease, topped an internal poll of nominations from ScotRail Alliance employees.
The ScotRail Alliance will be supporting the charity with a wide range of activities including dress-down days and an RSNO concert in a ScotRail station.
The workers hope to raise £150,000 for the charity in the three-year period.
Rob Shorthouse, communications director for the ScotRail Alliance, which includes Abellio ScotRail and Network Rail, said: "I know that our 7,500 staff will be doing everything they can to raise as much money as possible to help find a cure for this most terrible of diseases.
"However, it is not just about the money that we will raise while we are working together. We will also work hard to raise awareness of MND and to help support the people who are living with it.
"MND Scotland is an extraordinary charity doing extraordinary work right across our country.
"We are really proud that our staff and customers will have the opportunity over the next three years to help support them."
MND Scotland chief executive officer Craig Stockton said: "Knowing that so many ScotRail and Network Rail employees voted for MND Scotland and want to help us in the fight against motor neurone disease is inspiring.
"This is also a fantastic opportunity for us all to raise greater awareness and help more people understand the impact of this devastating disease.
"This is a journey to find a cure and improve the lives of those affected by MND across Scotland. Through this partnership, we can make a real difference."
Motor neurone disease is a condition which attacks the nerves in the brain and spinal cord.
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
