Natalie's Story: Natalie was a brave, outgoing, funny, selfless and amazing girl who sadly lost her 3 year battle with cancer on the 2nd May 2015 at just 20 years old with one of the biggest brain tumours medics have ever seen. She was a very popular girl who lived life to the full. She enjoyed horse riding, dancing, playing musical instruments, hanging out with her friends, playing darts and cooking.  She won the top of her year award every year at Bannockburn High Schoolfor cookery.  She ran for charity, took part in charity fun raising events, helped out at church Sunday schools and at the Riding School for the Disabled.

After Natalie's diagnosis she took party in many charity events including a sponsored run.  She kept upbeat throughout her treatment and never complained and when she was told she was going to die, she said to us “keep it happy”.  Her words and what she went though keep us going. Natalie will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.

A Rangers ball with the Team Autographs will be auctioned soon in
memory of Natalie  with the first anniversary of her leaving this world
on 2nd May, in aid  of Strathcarron Hospice at home.

 There  will also be a professionally written and recorded song (CD) about
Natalie, to honour her memory. Lyrics and music by Natalies' mum, Helen
Kidd  and Lead Singer/Song Writter Lino G Rocha.

We are held a “Fling for Natalie” A party for families with family fun and refreshments on New Years Eve at Fallin Miners Welfare, Stirling, to mark what would have been Natalie’s 21^stBirthday. We ended the party with Postcards to Heaven (sending messages of love) were sent to remember Natalie and other cherished loved ones at 18.15 hrs, the time Natalie was born and at the Bells.

Thank you to everyone who helped with our fundraising and everyone who came.  With the help of pupils and staff of Bannockburn Primary School and Bannockburn High School we are raised a total of : £5,725.  Bannockburn High School are still fundraising.

I still have many Postcards to Heaven and balloons with gas to give away if anyone wishes to join me by sending a message on the anniversary of Natalie leaving this world on the 2nd May.  Just text or call me 07725739289.
