Thank You

We are very grateful to every single person who helps raise funds and awareness of our work, thank you

Our supporters really are an incredible bunch and have undertaken marathons, hikes, swimming and cycling events, organised cake and car boot sales, held parties, dances, ceilidh's, quizzes, bingo nights, race events and even jumped out of planes, off a crane and down a giant zip slide and so much more in our name. It's safe to say our supporter's imaginations know no limits!

Here's just a little taster of what some of our recent supporters have been doing...

New Year's Loony Dook!

What were you doing on New Year's Day??  Well three of our very brave supporters joined the crowds at South Queensferry and took to the water for the annual Loony Dook, brrrrr!  Iain MacFadyen came up with the idea and colleagues Derek Shade and Scott Findlay joined in the fun and fundraising by getting dressed up and sporting our t-shirts too.

We can see from the huge smiles on their faces that they had a great time and to date they have raised over £1,000 in memory of Iain's brother Paul. 

We think you three are dook-tastic - thank you for your support!

 Garnetbank Primary School, Glasgow

A huge thank you to the inspiring P4/5 pupils of Garnetbank Primary for raising a super £58.09 through baking and selling cakes.  The pupils have written a few words themselves about their fundraising for us:

‘’Our class love baking cakes, we decided it would be nice to bake some cakes and sell them for charity.  Adil in our class has epilepsy so we thought we would raise some money for Epilepsy Scotland. 

Boushra is on the Eco committee and they have been working with our local Co-op in Sauchiehall Street, we sent them an email asking if they would give us some free ingredients so we could make more money.  Garry the manager said yes, so some of us went to get the free stuff.

We had lots of fun making the cakes, there were lots of Halloween shaped cakes.  We also enjoyed decorating the cakes with lots of icing and sweets.

 Helen Craig from Epilepsy Scotland came to our Christmas assembly and Tighe and Jordan handed her a big cheque for £50.  We enjoyed it so much we are going to do more cake  baking for charity.’’

David Mitchell

 A huge thank you to David Mitchell, one of our members, who pulled on his walking shoes and got out into beautiful Drumpellier Country Park and raised a really terrific £187 through his very kind sponsors.  David had good weather and great company on the day with Nick and Anne-Marie walking the 3 miles with him.  What a good way to get out and about, have a good time and raise money - great idea David!

Paris takes New York!

Epilepsy Scotland supporter Alex Paris travelled to New York last month to take part in the ING New York Marathon in memory of his sister Lizzy.  Alex took the 26-miles in his stride and raised a fantastic £4000 for Epilepsy Scotland too!  Well done Alex!
