Lanarkshire tanning salon team complete challenge in memory of beloved colleague
The staff from Tanz Tanning took part in the 10 mile Pink Ribbon Walk to help Breast Cancer Now fund their world-class research and life-changing care for anyone affected by breast cancer.
A team of workers from tanning salons across Lanarkshire have completed a fundraising challenge in tribute to a former colleague.
The staff from Tanz Tanning took part in the 10 mile Pink Ribbon Walk to help Breast Cancer Now fund their world-class research and life-changing care for anyone affected by breast cancer.
The challenge was completed by the team in memory of Newmains salon manager Ashleigh Craig who passed away earlier this year following a brave battle against the disease.
A spokesperson from Tanz said: 'Ashleigh was the manager of the Newmains salon and was always a happy, smiling face. She has been with us in our thoughts since passing and is dearly missed.
'So we wanted to raise some funds for the Breast Cancer Now charity in her honour.
'We also have other colleagues who have been in the unfortunate position of having to battle breast cancer - thankfully beating it successfully. 'Therefore it is a charity we feel a strong link to as a company.
'The final totals are still being counted and collected, but overall thanks to the incredible generosity from the kind supporters, we have raised over £1500.
'It was inspirational to be surrounded by so many wonderful people - well done to everyone yesterday, absolutely amazing!
'Throughout the journey, there were tough moments, but we were able to reflect on how lucky we are to be able to take part and raise as much as possible for the life saving research that Breast Cancer Now provide.
'This money will support Breast Cancer Now with life-saving research and support for people suffering with this disease.
'We are not done yet though as we are planning more fundraising events later in the year.'
By 2030, its estimated that 1.2 million women will be living with the disease. Breast Cancer Now are uniting to make life-saving discoveries and are here to offer expert support to anyone, the whole way through their breast cancer experience.
Tanz Tanning has salons across Lanarkshire including Newmains, Wishaw, Motherwell, Lanark and Carluke.
