KERRY Mackay donated more than £1000 to Epilepsy Scotland after rallying family and friends for the match at Greenfields Football Centre.

A COATBRIDGE fundraiser pulled off a stunning victory after netting a grand sum for an epilepsy charity.

Kerry Mackay, 20, raised more than £1000 for Epilepsy Scotland after rallying family and friends for a charity football match at Greenfields Football Centre in Glasgow.

Kerry, who is a dog groomer and trainee football coach, decided to raise cash for the charity after her brother John died following an epileptic seizure at the age of 23.

And she was delighted with the sum gathered, saying: “I cannot believe how much we have raised. I am so happy with the effort everyone has made.

“I cannot thank everyone enough, from the players and the ref to the photographer.”

Epilepsy Scotland’s Kerry Shearer is over the moon with the kind-spirited gesture.

She said: “We are delighted that so many people kindly donated towards our cause. £1000 is a huge amount to us and will help us to deliver essential services to those living with the condition.

“This includes our award-winning youth project and vital epilepsy first aid training.”

Kerry is also looking to start weekly football sessions for people living with Down’s syndrome.
