THESE brave five ladies are preparing to take on a Pretty Muddy challenge to raise funds for Cancer Research.

The fundraising friends from Ardrossan, Stevenston and West Kilbride have decided to take on the 5k muddy obstacle course this weekend.

The event, taking place in Glasgow on Saturday (September 13) is close to the girls’ hearts – each of them have someone who has been affected by cancer.

One of the team, Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald Advertising Manager Yvonne Cresswell, says: “We all feel that it is our turn to raise more awareness by participating in this fantastic cause.

“We have been asking our friends, family and work colleagues to show their support by adding their name onto our sponsor sheets or to donate using our JustGiving page set up through Facebook.

“Both have been extremely successful.

“We would like to thank everyone for showing their support for our team and hope to do everyone proud on the day of the event.” To donate go the ladies' JustGiving page at bit.ly/1uIIeio.
