River City star Libby McArthur says: "I have visited my local Maggie's in Glasgow and I was blown away by the positive and uplifting environment. I chatted to staff and centre users over a cup of tea around the kitchen table, joined in with various classes and heard firsthand about how Maggie's helps people to live with, through and beyond a cancer diagnosis. Maggie's truly is like walking into the comfortable kitchen of a well informed friend.
"I heard from centre users and staff about the huge difference that the People's Postcode Lottery is making to Maggie's. I am therefore delighted to come on board as a Maggie's ambassador to the People's Postcode Lottery. One thing that greatly impressed me about the People's Postcode Lottery is that it shows that if everyone gives a little, that it can really add up to a grand sum. It just goes to show what can happen when we all pull together."
Libby stars as café owner Gina Buchanan in the popular Scottish soap River City.
The Glasgow resident has a long list of impressive roles to her name, including Taggart, Looking After Jo Jo, Doctor Finlay and Rab C. Nesbitt.
