Alasdair said: “I’m really looking forward to taking part. Maria and I have been practising regularly – I’m a little nervous but hopefully everything will be all right on the night!
“As someone who has been indirectly affected by cancer through loved ones, this is a cause close to my heart. Palliative care is a much needed service in the Glasgow area and the work the hospice does is incredible.
“I’m proud to support this wonderful event.”
Heather Manson, director of fundraising of The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice, said: “This event is a great opportunity to bring supporters together to raise funds and have fun that allows us to continue to provide the highest standard of care to our patients and families.
