Tomorrow (September 10) Aberdeen solicitor Margaret Waldron will bravely take to the dancefloor in aid of Aberlour – Scotland’s children’s charity to celebrate her first wedding anniversary with her husband David Gill.
This will be the fifth Strictly Come Prancing in Aberdeen city centre and, this year, falls during Offshore Europe. Along with ten other corporate couples in the city Margaret and David have undertaken three months of toe-tapping training in preparation to wow a crowd of 300 at the Beach Ballroom.
Margaret Waldron, Principal Solicitor and owner at The Law Practice, said: “Those who know me well will know that, at times, I believe I really was born for the stage! The opportunity to join this year’s Strictly Come Prancing line up was too good to refuse. The event falls a year after David and I married so what better way to celebrate our first anniversary than fun, dancing and a fabulous cause to support? We’re looking forward to a fun-filled Charleston!”
Aberlour works to improve the lives of vulnerable children, young people and their families across Scotland. Aberlour supports young people through challenges such as living with a disability, growing up in and leaving care and the impact of drugs and alcohol.
Lydia Fyall, Senior Fundraising Executive for Aberlour, said: “Strictly Come Prancing makes a significant contribution to Aberlour, enabling us to provide vital services for children in Aberdeen with autism and disabilities, such as Aberlour Options - Aberdeen, our respite home based in Bucksburn.”
This effort from The Law Practices comes as part of principal solicitor Margaret Waldron’s plans to support ten individual local charities during 2015, her tenth year of business.
