Led by Lisa Hague, Kris Commons’ shy and retiring other half, the ladies will be serving in the Hoops Bar in the Gallowgate.

Lisa will be joined by the better half’s of Adam Matthews and Anthony Stokes with fans donations going to Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Earlier this year the intrepid Lisa traveled to Dens Park on a supporters bus with the event at the Hoops Bar aimed at raising £30,000 for Marie Curie.

Explaining the fund raising efforts she said: “In February 2014 Kris and I donated some daffodils to our local Marie Curie shop in Bearsden in memory of our daughter Lola.

“We met Murray, the fundraising manager for Glasgow and he invited me to visit the hospice for a cuppa and a chat.

    

“On a tour of the hospice I met a lovely lady called Eleanor who was being cared for in the ward. Eleanor invited me into her room and told me all about how Marie Curie had helped her for a number of years and how they were currently caring for her. I was blown away by Eleanor’s story and I have been supporting Marie Curie ever since.

“I caught up with Murray in February of this year and we got chatting about ways I could help and Murray suggested a job swap with me taking his job on for a day, forming a team and attempting to raise £6,479 to pay for the running costs of their Glasgow hospice for the day.

“Before I knew it, I had taken things several steps further and I decided I wanted to raise £30,000 for this remarkable charity to celebrate my 30th birthday in March.

“I will be taking on several challenges including my own twist on Marie Curie’s ‘Pay for a Day’ – companies can bid to get me working for them for a day and I am up for a challenge!”
