Madisons ABC Fundraiser for The Archie Foundation

23/11/2025

I thought I would share this on here too, as its fundraising related and we have far more people on here from far and wide than I do on my friends list🥰

This year, Madison wants to help with the Abernecessities Christmas Campaign - Believe in Magic. 🎄

They do have their own wishlist and fundraiser page, but Madison wants to buy things off the list they have sent me herself to then donate the items personally.

I have set up a link if anyone would like to donate to help her, help the children this Christmas. I understand Christmas is an expensive time of year and with the costs of everything rising, its not always possible to donate. If you cant please share this, it would be much appreciated😁

No child should go without.🥺

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO DONATED AND SHOWED SUPPORT, ITS REALLY APPRECIATED!!❤️

❤️❤️MADISONS ABC FUNDRAISER IS NOW COMPLETE❤️❤️
Both my kids make me proud EVERY SINGLE DAY, but today Madison completed her fundraiser for The Archie Foundation raising money for sick children & their families and we are so incredibly proud of her! Blood, sweat & tears went into this(LITERALLY!)and I am lost for words - FOR ONCE!
26 letters of the alphabet
26 towns/cities/villages/places
182 Highland Dances
1 Choreographed dance to Nathan Evans- Heather on the Hill.
2 tiny little feet and a huge heart❤️
Madison says 'Im not happy im finished my fundraiser, im just happy iv raised money to help sick children and that makes my heart full'🥺 Wee Esmay danced a few dances with her too, super proud of her too❤️❤️

We just want to say a massive thank you to every single person/dancer who came along and danced with her, supported her, shared posts and most importantly donated! We are blown away with the amount we have raised so far, our total is sitting at £1050!! She only set a target of £500! No amount of thank you's will show how greatful we really are.

Special thank you to one of Madisons best friends, Lily, for taking the time out her day today to come and dance with her, at her finishing place 'X MARKS THE SPOT'(Where it all began all those months ago gettin her pictures taken, right outside Duff House) and to Denise Noble for rushing around straight after work to get her dancing gear, pick her up and get her ready❤️ Appreciate you both so much!

Also a massive thank you to Madisons dance teacher, Mary Aiken, for teaching her everything she needs to know, for always believing in all her 'bairns' and having the patience of a saint(i dont know how she does it)

Thank you to Charlie Joss for helping Madison to choreograph her dance to Heather on the Hill, without you and your mam, it wouldn't have been possible❤️

This fundraiser may be over, but it wont be the last❤️

LINK FOR JUST GIVING IS ON THIS PAGE AND WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL 31ST OCTOBER.

THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS🥰🥰

We switched it up slightly because we were going through New Pitsligo to go to Strichen anyway. So we did New Pitsligo instead of New Deer.

4 places off the list today!😍

N - New Pitsligo
S - Strichen
Q - Quilquox
Y - Ythanbank

Quilquox was literally houses and fields. We had to make do and Madison dance in a grass verge beside sheep for this one.

On the way from Ythanbank we stopped past some cows and Madison decided to do the fling for them🤣 She also danced Heather on the Hill in Methlick too❤️

5 TO GO!! 4 closer to home & X Marks the spot

So incredibly proud of you little one❤️

WE ARE FINALLY IN SINGLE DIGITS😭

The end is in sight. Never did I think this would actually be as hard going as it has been, trying to fit it all in between working, school and our unpredictable Scottish weather.

K - KEITH

It was raining on our way up but luckily not enough to soak the ground. We chose to dance in this wee spot and a lovely Lady was watching Madison from a distance❤️

17 down 9 to go😁😁😁

If anyone wants to donate the link is below❤️ Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far!
