Staff, friends and clients of a beauty salon have stepped out to show their support for Breakthrough Breast Cancer in a sponsored walk which raised some £2,500.
More than 30 people and two canine friends took part in the five-kilometre walk organised by Ellen Conlin Hair and Beauty at Mugdock Country Park in Milngavie.
The team, which drew volunteers from salons in Hyndland and Giffnock, braced the wet weather and swapped heels for Wellington boots to raise money for the pioneering charity which aims to save lives through research, campaigns and education.
Managing director of Ellen Conlin Hair and Beauty, Ellen Conlin-Main, said: ‘The walk was a great way to raise money for a very important cause. The team put in a huge amount of effort and it was a great way to bring everyone together out with the salon.
‘Despite the miserable weather, we all had a lot of fun. I would also like to say a huge thank-you to all who supported us, especially our clients and, of course, to the people that made donations. The total we managed to raise was fantastic and I hope that we will able to do something very similar again soon.’
