A teenager who helped to raise £70,000 for the Anthony Nolan trust before her death is to be recognised by the charity.
Catherine Melrose, 17, had supported the organisation from February 2013 after she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia – a form of blood cancer.
The Peterhead girl, who died in July, will be remembered at Anthony Nolan’s annual awards ceremony later this month.
She has been shortlisted for the special recognition and individual fundraiser of the year awards.
Henny Braund, chief executive at Anthony Nolan, said the teenager was an inspiration to all during her battle with cancer.
She added: “Her legacy will continue to save lives, thanks to her fundraising efforts and her determination to raise awareness of the importance of donating stem cells.
“The awards will be a fitting occasion to celebrate what an amazing difference Catherine has made to the lives of others during her lifetime.”
At least three people who joined Anthony Nolan’s stem cell register because of the teenager have gone on to donate to other sufferers.
Catherine’s condition was discovered after she complained of headaches in the run-up to Christmas 2012. Following a series of blood tests, she was sent to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary for a bone marrow check which confirmed the former Mintlaw Academy pupil had leukaemia.
Following her death, the school’s head teacher Alan Hornberry paid tribute to an “outgoing, extremely kind and loyal young lady”, saying she would be missed terribly.
The awards ceremony takes place on October 27 at the House of Commons, London.
