Lisa Hoops BarLisa Hague brought out the sunshine, punters, pints and pounds as she put in a shift at the Hoops Bar in the Gallowgate today.

While partner Kris Commons was preparing for the 3-0 win over Dundee United Super Wag Lisa was busy with her bucket list to raise £30,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Alongside Hollie Thomas, partner of Adam Matthews, Lisa was pulling pints for punters in the busy pre-match shift with thirsty fans happy to donate to a good cause.

In the month that she hits the big 3 0 Lisa is hoping to raise £30,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care with her infectious can-do attitude to charity work.

With the money from today’s event still pouring in almost £9,000 has been raised towards the total.

Explaining her motivation on her Just Giving page Lisa said: “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!”
