For Scottish artist Mark Holden, an illness four years ago proved a life-changing experience. Up until then, he'd had a successful career in sales and marketing, worked with various multi-national companies and kept painting as a spare-time hobby. Illness caused him to re-assess his life and now he's a full-time professional artist whose seascapes and paintings of seaside towns are much in demand across Scotland and beyond.

Holden has donated one of his paintings as the raffle prize at this year's Macmillan Cancer Support Art Show, helping - like all the other participating artists - to raise funds for an organisation that supports thousands whose lives (and futures) have been affected by the disease. The charity has already seen its dedicated Chemotherapy Centre come on-stream at Glasgow's Gartnavel Hospital, but there's still a shortfall of some £1m. The Art Show, with more than 700 original paintings, sculptures and ceramics - on sale at at a wide range of prices - hopes to reduce that sum significantly.

So, change your own life with some new art on your wall, and help some of the 26,000 Scots diagnosed every year with cancer to cope with the life changes ahead of them. On the Beach, Iona, by Mark Holden, donated as the raffle prize at this year's Macmillan Cancer Art Show
