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."
Originally planned as a party at her home for about half a dozen friends, the idea became popular among many more friends and family and eventually 100 women signed up to take part in the special charity event.
Nadine then booked the Inn in Braehead for Saturday, 26 February 2011, where the ladies got dressed up in their wedding dresses to raise funds for CLIC Sargent and the Eilidh Brown Memorial Fund. Raffle prizes were also donated by businesses and individuals around the Stirling area.
