I am no trained athlete, and other than the Banchory Beast, I have never taken part in events like these before. I am simply a mother of 2 who wants to support this amazing charity and raise as much as I can. The charity
Abbie Sparkle is a Scottish children’s charity providing support for children with cancer across the UK. We know how important it is to live every moment of every day to the ful
l and Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation is here to spread Abbie’s sparkle to help brighten a child’s day. Abbie’s Story
Abbie’s smile, sparkle, and infectious enthusiasm lit up the room and that’s exactly how Abbie wanted people to remember and celebrate her life. Abbie (15) from Elgin, passed away on Christmas day 2017 after living with Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, for four years and four months. Christmas was Abbie’s favourite day, she loved it, we believe that Abbie held on and chose the sparkliest day of the year to go. It was the sense of humour and laugh out loud mentality which set Abbie apart and meant she lived every moment to the full. Abbie was a vivacious and talented cheerleader who was hailed by medics as “incredible and a truly inspirational young woman”. One of Abbie’s wishes was to raise money for “hospitals and stuff” under the charity name Abbie’s Sparkle Foundation.
