Brave Mum's Prove Sky's the Limit for Charity Supporting their Children
Two brave women from different ends of the country chose to take to the skies in an adrenaline fuelled skydive to raise crucial funds for Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus (SBH) Scotland who have provided dedicated support to their families.
Abby McDonald (pictured right) from Stonehaven and Jade Montgomery (pictured below) from Hamilton kick-started the new year by taking on a tandem freefall parachute jump at Strathallan Airfield in Perth and Kinross and raising over £3,000 in the process. From an exhilarating 10,000ft in the sky and at speeds of up to 120mph, the unforgettable experience was inspired by the support for their respective daughter and son.
Abby’s daughter Bella was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus 7 years ago and Abby describes the help she has received from SBH Scotland as ‘immeasurable’.

SBH Scotland surprises shoppers with flashmob on Burns Day
A Burns inspired charity flash mob surprised shoppers on the 25th January at St. Enoch Centre in Glasgow. Organised by Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus (SBH) Scotland, the lively celebration paid homage to the great Scottish bard Robert Burns, while raising awareness for the charity’s vital cause.
Kick-starting the Burns Night celebrations, students from Theatre College of Scotland performed a medley of traditional Scottish songs including Caledonia and Flower of Scotland to delighted onlookers whilst SBH Scotland representatives collected donations from generous shoppers. Families who are supported by the specialist charity were also in attendance to join in the fun.
Sean Carr, who attended the flash mob with his son Andrew said, “We were delighted to be involved today. Since Andrew’s spina bifida diagnosis at our 20 week scan, SBH Scotland have been a big part of our lives. They brought positivity when we felt devastated and they have given Andrew confidence in his own abilities. It doesn’t matter that he has to use a wheelchair and walking sticks because with SBH Scotland he knows he’s not alone, he’s not the only one; we have a community of support.”
