A nursery near Glasgow has raised £4,500 to support a colleague diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer.

Jaime-Lee Bain, 36, from Easterhouse, discovered a lump under her arm and was diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer in July. She began chemotherapy earlier this year. Bain has worked at Nursery Times at the Park for more than a decade as a senior member of staff, building strong relationships with families.

Staff and families quickly rallied around her after hearing the diagnosis, launching a fundraiser to offer support. The nursery organised a 'Walk, Jog or Run' challenge, aiming to collectively cover 64 miles—the same number of hours as her planned treatment. The challenge exceeded its target significantly, with participants collectively covering 201 miles and raising £4,500.

A nursery spokesperson said the nursery had 'been overwhelmed by the support for Jaime-Lee', noting she is 'not only our colleague but is our friend'. The spokesperson added: 'Everyone has been so kind, thoughtful and generous since hearing this news.'
