Story

We as a family have been doing an outdoor Christmas light display for over 30 years after our mum bought the first outdoor light.

Over the years we have spoken about trying to use this as a way of raising funds for a charity.

Sadly in December 2022 our mum got the worst news of having stage 3 breast cancer. She has been through an entire year of hell.

And in October 2023 mum and the rest of us got the best news ever. Mum beat cancer!!

We would love to use our Christmas light display as a way to try raise some funds to give back to Marie Curie nurses at Edinburgh western general hospital for all their outstanding support they gave our mum.

Please any donation you can would be hugely appreciated. We as a family will be forever grateful.

Thanks.
