“During my time going through treatment, I unfortunately had to stay a few nights but the Teenage Cancer Trust Unit created a comforting environment. It also created a sense of normality by providing the 'Chill Out' area and allowing my mum to stay with me. Joining Abby on this year's 10K will be the 31-strong team of family and friends who will be walking in memory of Kirkmuirhill mum-of-two Carol Watson, who sadly passed away at the age of 43 last year.
Those taking part in the event will be given a free Off the Beatson Track t-shirt after signing up, and a medal at the end for completing it, too.
