Chris's nomination story

Chris Reid, along with his wife Maggie wanted to do something positive and commemorate the lives of school friends Craig and Russell Milne. In 2005, Russell sadly passed away after being rushed to hospital foollowing a car accident. In 2010 Craig passed away after being diagnosed with a rare illness called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS). Wanting to thank the people who cared for Craig and Russell Chris and Maggie spent five months planning a fundraising dinner. Their hard work and dedication paid off and the dinner raised £40K. A £20K donatioon was given to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and £20K was given to a support group for GBS illness. A truly touching tribute to a dear friend's memory Chris and Maggie selflessly invested their time and energy to ensure that the event was a success and raised monty for two excellent causes.
