Road Bridge walkers set sights on £500
A GROUP of fundraisers planning to walk across the Forth Road Bridge to raise money for a children's hospital have collected almost £150.
Three teams are currently planning on taking part in the event on June 14, led by former Sick Kids patient Aimi Burrows.
However, they are still looking for more sponsors and volunteers as they have a target of £500.
All the money raised will go towards the Sick Kids Friends Foundation.

WE MADE THE PAPER!! AGAIN!! |

Pages on the popular networking website Bebo have also boosted the campaign, with 230 people signing up in just four days.
Aimi Burrows, 18, from Broxburn, who suffered a Vesicoureteral reflux in the kidneys as a child, started the online petition. She said: “I have spent many days, nights and weeks in the Sick Kids as a child.
“It is a friendly environment for children. There are toys and paintings and the people there work with kids everyday.
“Children, like most people, do not like hospital, and I know from experience that it is a very scary place as a young person. But the Sick Kids was almost like a home away from home for me.”

FUNDRASING EVENTS II |
by
Electrica.
Many of you have voted that you would fundraise for this special hospital.
One of the few ideas we have been given is a sponsered walk around over the forth bridge.
It will be in the middle of June so plenty time for planning and will be accessable for everyone to do!!
I will be starting a poll soon as there has also been a sponsered bike ride/walk around edinburgh (meadows etc)
WHAT DO YOU THINK ? ? ? ?
