Log on and bid to help TCCL build lodge for cancer patients

The online hammer is about to come down on a charity auction to raise funds for a new facility to help young cancer sufferers.

Tayside Children with Cancer and Leukaemia (TCCL) has purchased a four-bedroom house in St Andrews that is to become TCCL Lodge and offer families a break during treatment.

So far, more than £400,000 of the charity’s £500,000 target has been raised and the fund will enjoy a boost from the TCCL Great Ball, scheduled for Dundee’s Apex Hotel on Saturday night.

An online auction closes on Thursday evening and is already close to its £1,500 target.

The auction includes donated lots including a boxing training session with Scottish champion and Commonwealth Games competitor Lewis Benson.
