Isla, who is studying medicine, was inspired to take part in Zipslide the Clyde on the 31st August and raise money for SBH Scotland in honour of her mum Gillian Horsburgh (both pictured), who has spina bifida. Isla’s mum Gillian is a member of SBH Scotland and is supported by the charity. She regularly attends SBH Scotland’s adult social groups in Edinburgh where she thoroughly enjoys getting out and meeting up with her charity friends.
