A young cancer patient from Dundee has raised hundreds of pounds to help other sufferers by auctioning off signed celebrity memorabilia.
Since starting his fundraising campaign a few weeks ago Martin Low, 21, has been inundated with offers of items, such as a Dundee United cushion signed by Lorraine Kelly.
The office worker, who has Hodgkin lymphoma, has raised £500 for the Lymphoma Association and Ninewells Hospital, where he is being treated.
Recently, Martin was told that he has a 95% chance of being given the all-clear when his course of chemotherapy ends.
He said: “I feel positive about the future. I’ve had two chemotherapy sessions at Ninewells and I have four more to go.
“I want to raise money for Ward 34 at the hospital, and also for charity.
“A few people gave me signed stuff to auction off and it’s grown from there.
“Scottish celebrity chef Nick Nairn gave me a signed cook book, and I have a signed Frankie Boyle book, as well as a few things from football clubs in Motherwell and Hamilton.
“But I’m still looking for more donations of items to increase my fundraising.”
Martin was diagnosed in October after discovering a small lump on one side of his neck. Luckily for him, the cancer was at a very early stage, increasing his chances of recovery.
Despite his illness he still works full-time and said that he does not let his condition get him down.
Martin added: “I do get a bit sick from the chemo; usually it’s a delayed reaction.
“So if I have treatment on a Monday I’ll be fine on Tuesday and Wednesday, but then towards the end of the week I start to feel bad.
“There are some days when I can’t go into work, but luckily they’ve been very supportive.
“The doctors are pretty positive that I’ll get the all-clear, which I’m delighted with.”
