Duncan's video and song! Enjoy!
Mid-day Saturday 9th June at Mains of Ardiffry airstrip, Hatton near Cruden Bay.
On top of the plane ready to get strapped on.
About to take-off. Still no fear!
Coming in to land.
Back on the ground with great-granddaughter Caragh. Asked if she'd do it again, she gave an immediate "aye".
If you haven't yet sponsored Isobel, it's not too late. The justgiving site remains open or you can send direct to Isobel.
For many years Isobel has worked tirelessly raising money for Multiple Sclorosis (MS) Research: baking, making jam, knitting and sewing novelties for sale, as well as organising numerous fund-raising activities in Ballater, the small Scottish village where she lives.
Since one of her daughters was diagnosed with MS, Isobel has raised over £40,000 for this charity.
Last year she saw people “
Wing-Walking”
as part of the Emmerdale Extravaganza Charity Event and was determined that she could do that to raise money for MS.
She will turn eighty just over a week before this year's event and has in fact been a great-grandmother for several years, but refuses to "act her age" or slow down.
Her family tried but failed to dissuade her, but we have been assured that she’ll be well tied on and she’s all set for her flight at this year’s P & J / Emmerdale Event on the 9th June.
This year's Emmerdale Extravaganza will raise money for local charities and as part of this event, Isobel's Wing-Walk sponsorships first £1,500 has to be guaranteed to the event organisers for these charities. I am confident, however, that this will be more than covered by local business corporate sponsorship so that
all individual sponsorship will go towards Isobel's efforts for MS Research.
Please support Isobel's brave fundraising effort in any of the following ways:
Send a cheque, made out to "MS Scotland" to Isobel Craigie, Scockmuir, Craigendarroch Walk, Ballater.
Add your name to one of the many MS sponsor forms displayed in Ballater shops and promoted by Isobel's family and friends across the country.
Make a credit/debit card donation on line by going to
justgiving.com/flyinggranny
Isobel continues to sell her crafts and jam in Aberdeen through the MS Resource Centre, Able Care and Doorsteps.
For Corporate donations or sponsorship please contact
