Nicola Atherton, a pupil support assistant at Carnegie PS, commented: “MacMillan is such an amazing charity and close to the hearts of many of the team.”

The school also completed the Hairy Haggis relay last year.

She added: “Last year’s challenge had such a positive impact on all of us, it improved both our physical and mental health and brought us together as a team.”  

The Hairy Haggis relay will be held on Sunday, May 26.
