Mauchline and the surrounding areas will come together this weekend for a fun run and family day.

The event aims to support young Ava Bolton, who is living with stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma.

It is being organised by the Mauchline Community Association SCIO along with some caring and helpful volunteers.

On the agenda for the day is a 5k run starting at 10.45am, followed by a fun-filled family day with lots of entertainment.
