Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Yup, it's me again shaking a can under your nose - sorry. Thanks so much to everyone who has sponsored me over the years and those who might do in the future <3

April 2015 Update:

Gordon and Nicole are so close to starting the building works on the respite home. Test drilling has started and Eilidh's Wish of a place for children and their families going through what they went through will soon become a reality :) Or as Eilidh's brother Lewis said in a recent video, it will be a place for "making memories". You can view this video here: https://vimeo.com/123222830

On the 25th March 2010, Eilidh Brown passed away after a 14 month battle with Germ Cell Cancer.She was 9 days short of her 16th birthday.

The Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund has been set up by her family to make Eilidh's wish, of helping others in her situation, come true. The aim of the Memorial Fund is to build and maintain a respite holiday home in the Stirling area for young people and their families who are in treatment for or recovering from cancer. A place where, not only the families can relax and spend quality time together, but they can make memories that will last a lifetime.

Before Eilidh passed away, the family took a holiday to Calum's Cabin, it was their last holiday together.Eilidh wanted other families to have the opportunity to do this too.

Planning permission for the respite home has been granted. "It's time to stop dreaming and start building".

Please keep giving <3
