my family and i were succesful in Queensferry Crossing ballot to be 1 of 50000 lucky enough to walk over the newly built bridge on 2nd September before it officially opens to vehicles. My 2 year old daughter (yes you read right a toddler doing a walk) and i will be walking the bridge to raise money for Special Olympics Tayside. I have volunteered with Special Olympics for 10 years in the UK and New Zealand, it has given me so many opportunites professionally as well as life long friendships and memories. we would love to contribute so that Special Olympics Tayside can continue providing life changing opportunities.
