An inspirational Ayrshire woman who overcame breast cancer has shared her pride after being given the honour of setting thousands of participants on their journey at this year’s Cancer Research UK’s 10k Race for Life in Glasgow.
Aileen Rourke, from Drongan, was chosen as the special guest starter at the 10k Race for Life, helping droves of inspirational fundraisers put their best foot forward on their Race for Life journeys from Glasgow Green on Sunday.
The 51-year-old overcame breast cancer following treatment after discovering a lump in her breast in 2022.
Aileen, who works as a District General Manager at SP Energy Networks, part of the ScottishPower group, is now sharing her story to raise awareness of the importance of regularly checking for lumps and paying attention to any possible symptoms.

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International Prince Harry has arrived at London’s High Court, where he will become the first senior royal to take the witness box in 130 years.
