Inverurie hockey player receives MBE for charity work

Inverurie Hockey Club player Angie Shearer, from Huntly, has been awarded an MBE in this year’s Queens New Year’s honours list after all her fundraising for Cancer Research UK.

The 28 year old has been fundraising for the charity since she was 15 and has now raised over £750,000 so far through organised walks and runs.

After her gran Irene lost the battle to cancer, Angie took part in the Peterhead Relay for Life at just 16. Angie was the chairwomen of the organising committee for eight years and stepped down only this year.

The Banff Academy PE teacher was shocked to be on the list and has plenty more fundraising walks planned, the big on being the  10k twilight walk at Inverurie later on this year, which sees over 700 people attend all to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

We want to congratulate Angie on her achievements so far and wish her all the best in her future fundraising.
