A 10k run is being organised to raise money for a local cancer charity.
Wendy Bridger and Michael Howden have launched the 2018 Intellicore Red Run following a successful fundraiser last year.
They raised a total of £10,000 for Friends of ANCHOR, a cause close to their hearts.
Ms Bridger said: “Both Michael and I have experienced the loss of a loved one through cancer.
“In 2013, my mum sadly passed away from lung cancer.
“My family and I are so grateful to the Friends of ANCHOR for the care and support she received during her time in the ANCHOR Unit.
“The event gives us a chance to raise awareness of the incredible work that Friends of ANCHOR does in our region and to raise vital funds to support the ANCHOR Unit.”
The 10k run will take place at Fetternear, near Kemnay, along with a 5k route for both runners and walkers on June 17.
One of the event sponsors, Barry Booth, who heads up software company Intellicore, said: “We are delighted to be supporting the event again in aid of Friends of ANCHOR, a charity close to many.
“The 2017 Red Run was extremely well organised, well attended and well received; an event I am delighted to put our company name to.”
And fundraising executive at Friends of ANCHOR, Ursula Fairlie, said: “We are overwhelmed by the fantastic support Wendy and Michael have shown Friends of ANCHOR over the past year and we’re delighted that they’re continuing to champion the cause.
“Every penny raised through the event has gone directly towards supporting cancer and haematology care in the North-east.”
