Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I’m Scarlett I’m 8 years old. I’m running to raise money for MND Scotland because my friend Dick Holgate passed away from MND. I want the MND charity to find a cure and to help people like Dick.
My muma and I moved from Australia to Innellan, Scotland in 2018. We didn’t know anybody here when we moved. We joined a group of volunteers called Inspiring Innellan who keep the village clean and beautiful by planting flowers and painting railings and doing beach cleans and other things. We met Dick at Inspiring Innellan and he became our friend. He was a really clever gardener. Who planted lots of flowers around the village. He told me about different plants and one he always asked me if I remembered the name. I always got it wrong, I still got it wrong now and had to look it up ,it’s brachyglottis. First I thought it was brachiosaurus (that’s a dinosaur!) then brachiolaurus, then brachiogloris! I don’t think I’ll ever be as good as Dick at remembering the names! Dick had a plant on the table outside his house that his wife Margaret didn’t like, I really loved it and Dick told me all about it and how to look after it and he gave it to me. It’s a Sempervision ( this ones correct).
Dick was a great person and everyone who knew him will really miss him.❤️ I don’t want this to happen to anyone else so this is why I’m doing this for MND.
