Oldmeldrum cancer survivor to hold charity ball

Amanda Yule is organising her third fundraising ball
Amanda Yule is organising her third fundraising ball

A young north-east woman who beat leukaemia is getting ready for her third fundraiser in aid of the charities that helped her.

Amanda Yule, from Oldmeldrum, was diagnosed with the disease in 2008, when she was aged just 15.

Her condition was so serious that she was given her first round of chemotherapy on the day she was diagnosed.

Over the next six months, she continued with the treatment and had a life-saving bone marrow transplant in Glasgow.

Now 21, Miss Yule is juggling organising her third charity ball while working as a holiday rep at Ayia Napa in Cyprus.

The Rainbow Ball will be held at Thainstone House Hotel, at Inverurie, on November 15. Miss Yule has lined-up some top secret entertainment for her guests.

The biennial event has raised more than £34,000 for charities. This year’s proceeds will once again go to the Anthony Nolan Trust, Grampian Children’s Leukaemia Research Fund, Clic Sargent and Calum’s Cabin.

Miss Yule has enlisted the help of her parents, Michael and June, to organise this year’s event since she has been abroad for the last eight months.

Her mother said she was hugely proud of her daughter’s efforts.

Mrs Yule said: “If you look at her now, you wouldn’t know. If she hadn’t had that transplant, she wouldn’t be here today. Her story is a positive one, and the ball is her way of showing that.

“We’re looking forward to the ball, but we’re looking forward to having her home more.”

There is one table of 10, priced £400, remaining, as well as a few individual tickets. To book, call 01651 872033 or e-mail michael.yule@btinternet.com.
