A WOMAN from Glasgow has reached a fundraising milestone for a Scottish charity after taking part in the Glasgow Kiltwalk.

Kimberley Burns has now raised more than £20,000 for the charity Epilepsy Scotland in just over five years of fundraising activities and events.

She said: “I am totally buzzing I have reached the milestone of raising over £20,000 for such a great charity and helping to raise awareness of the condition along the way.Burns began fundraising for Epilepsy Scotland in 2018 due to her partner, who was suddenly diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy nine years ago.

“I was so inspired by Grant I realised I had to use my voice and action to advocate for people who have Epilepsy, or people caring for someone who has epilepsy.” Her charity baking led her to start her own cake business, which she uses to help raise awareness and money for her fundraising events.
