One of the UK's tiniest babies - Danielle Robinson who is now a young woman of 22 is to take to the CAT WALK  to raise funds for Aberdeen's Neo Natal Unit who took great care of her when she was fighting for her life as a baby.  It is hoped that Danielle's involvement will reassure other parents of babies what neo-natal care can achieve. The Little Miracles Fashion Show will also feature Danielle's father John and mum Tanya. Tanya was the brain child of the Fashion Show.  There is a Friends of Aberdeen Neo Natal Unit Facebook Page

Clan Cancer Support has teamed up with Wild In Art to create and site 30 to 70  2.5 m high lighthouses in Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.  These lighthouses have been created by a local artist, and are decorated by schools.  People can travel around the area, learn something of local heritage, and donate.  The lighthouses symbolise the hope and vital work  undertaken by CLAN Cancer Care.  To be part of Light The North contact lighthousekeeper@clanhouse.org or visit www.clanhouse.org
