Moyra helps others

Jun 23 2006

Galloway News

 

A GENEROUS Castle Douglas woman who suffered a stroke as a baby has raised over £200 to help other stroke victims.

Moyra Dodds, aged 33, who suffered a stroke when she was just year old and has donated the money to Castle Douglas day hospital.

She raised the money as part of the Caledonian Award which helps give people with special needs opportunity to achieve their potential and increase their independence.

Having already completed the silver and bronze awards, Moyra, who is a respite user at Dunmuir Park, will soon set foot on an aeroplane for the first time as part of the scheme.

In order to raise the money, Moyra, with the help of her mother Margaret Dodds, carer Elaine Wilson and other friends and family, held two coffee evenings at her home where she sold beads and tablet and other goodies.
