Linda leaping into space to raise funds for Yorkhill on the 17th September 2011.
Something different for you today. Linda Campbell, the wife of one of our Consultants, Steve, is going to be leaping from an aeroplane at 10,000ft. Not unusual I can hear you say, this is a popular pursuit but Linda suffers from acrophobia and stepping off the kerb is an ordeal.
Linda (55) is facing her greatest fear to raise funds for Yorkhill Sick Children's Hospital. Her seven year old Grandson, Lewis Cox, suffered from Leukaemia and was treated at Yorkhill.
Lewis was first diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in March 2006 at aged two years. He then underwent three years of treatment at Yorkhill Sick Children's Hospital, Glasgow including several periods where he had to be admitted to the Schiehallion Ward for more intensive treatment. He went into remission in May 2009 but still attends Yorkhill Hospital on a three monthly basis for check-ups.
Linda is a Nurse by Profession and she recognizes the great work carried on in Yorkhill Children's Hospital and in particular, Schiehallion Ward. She sees this as a way of saying thanks for the on-going care Lewis is recieving.

So.........the purpose of this Blog is to raise funds to help Linda acheive a sizeable sposorship with much needed funds going to sick children in Scotland. Your cheques should be made payable to:
"Yorkhill Children's Foundation" and you can send them to our Office, 54 Delph Wynd, Tullibody. FK10 2TW and we will ensure they get to Linda.
Thank you for your support for a great cause.
