R Davidson Aberdeenshire Tee Off for a Worthy Cause
An Aberdeenshire painting and decorating firm has successfully raised over £15,000 for a toddler with a debilitating medical condition by hosting a charity golf day.
R Davidson Aberdeenshire , which is based at Brathens Business Park in Banchory, held a charity golf day recently at Banchory Golf Club, with 33 teams taking part to fundraise for youngster, Connor Yates, who was born with a condition called Fibular Hemimelia.
Connor’s grandmother, Denise Brown, works for R Davidson, and the company wanted to raise funds for 16-month old Connor, as he will be reliant on prosthetic limbs for the rest of his life after the lower part of his leg was amputated when he was 12 months old as a result of the condition.
All of the money raised from the golf outing will go towards purchasing sports prosthetic limbs for Connor to help him lead a more active life, as he grows older.
Denise, said: “I am delighted with the amount raised for Connor. This will go a long way to ensuring that he lives as normal a childhood as possible. I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the lead up to the event, and on the day itself, it was a great day, one I will always remember.”
Professional footballer and local lad Andrew Considine, from Aberdeen Football Club was also in attendance to help fundraise and hand out prizes to competitors, which included a Mini Cooper for a hole in one.
