Oban Pipe Band committee and friends are organising a fundraising soup lunch on Saturday November 10. All money raised at the event in the Band Hall, Shore Street, will be in aid of the Beatson Cancer Charity in Glasgow, supporting treatment and the well-being of patients and their families Alistair Dewar, the band’s fundraising convener, said the charity was chosen in recognition of the care and support so many patients from the Oban area experience while having treatment at the Beatson.
‘Earlier this year my daughter-in-law, Eilidh Ann, was diagnosed with leukaemia and as a family we have so much praise for the wonderful care she received and continues to receive,’ said Mr Dewar.
Eilidh Ann, who is a mumof- one, is now in remission.
