A CHARITY worker got the surprise of a lifetime when she was told she had won a new car, after taking part in the Royal Bank of Scotland Kiltwalk in Edinburgh.
Wishaw’s Nicole Forsyth is the fourth and final Kiltwalker this year to win a new Renault Clio, thanks to platinum sponsor Arnold Clark.
The 30-year-old made her Kiltwalk debut in Edinburgh this month, completing the 12-mile Big Stroll for Enable Scotland, the charity she works for.
Forsyth said: “They pretended it was an ordinary meeting so I couldn’t believe it when I was told I’d won a car.
“I helped hand out balloons, medals and flags at the Glasgow Kiltwalk earlier this year as there were lots of people from ENABLE Scotland taking part. The event was amazing so I signed-up for the Big Stroll in Edinburgh straight away!
“We know the huge impact fundraising can have on people’s lives and I’ll definitely take part again.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
