Rock Legend Gets Whizzy

Now Eilidh's grannie, aka rockchickgranny, works for Fish
And let's be honest....
What a ROCK L.E.G.E.N.D he is!

Today Fish announced on The Company website that He, some of his fans and rockchickgranny are walking the West Highland Way for Eilidh and some of her favourite charities!!

Wow-weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So get your walking boots on and join them if you are interested:




"WEST HIGHLAND WAY
27TH MAY – 2ND JUNE

As many of you know Elspeth’s 2 year old granddaughter Eilidh has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 2 and, although very bright, cheeky, and mischievous, is now wheelchair dependent.

The monies raised from this year’s walk will be shared between Eilidh’s Whizzy Wheel Fund (http://www.whizzywheels.blogspot.com/), a fund solely providing equipment for Eilidh, and three charities who have been instrumental in helping Eilidh and her family over the last few months: The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign (http://www.muscular-dystrophy.org/), The Turbo Trust (http://www.theturbotrust.org/) and Jennifer’s Trust (http://www.jtsma.org.uk/).

thanks for all your support with this
all the best
Fish"

Mr Whizzy Whiskers

Mr Whizzy Whiskers, aka John Barclay, rugby player ex·tra·or·di·naire for Glasgow Warriors and Scotland, has pledged to grow his Movember Mo - for those not in the know, that's a moustache! - for Eilidh's Whizzy Wheels!





Wheyhey, John!

Sponsor him by following this link


He will hopefully, depending on selection, be appearing in the SRU EMC Autumn Series 2010... proudly sporting his mo which, in 2009, took on various guises through Movember...

So watch this space!  We'll keep you updated with pictures...
