The day of our head shave has now been and gone but we are very pleased to report that it was very much a success. Even before the event had actually began people had already turned up at our stand in the main area of the university eagerly awaiting the start. The crowd that turned up were good sports, cheering on those who got their hair shaved off.

Eilidh's 500 Heroes - Brides Turn Back the Clock for Charity

Nadine Grant who had pledged to be one of Eilidh's 500 Heroes organized a fundraiser in February, where her and a bunch of friends who are now young mum's would dress up in their own wedding dresses for a laugh and raise money for charity.

From the money raised, £100 was pledged to the Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund's 500 Heroes Appeal.  Nadine said, she and her friends had enjoyed getting all dressed up on their wedding days.

“We’re all mums now with young children and we wondered if we’d still be able to fit into our wedding dresses.  Once we decided to go ahead with it, the first step for a few of us was the gym."
