Truly unstoppable - 93-year-old Mae Whiteford has become the oldest person to ever Zipslide the Clyde! 👏🤩

Mae, who was one of the founders of our charity back in 1965, decided to take to the sky to raise vital funds for Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland to mark the charity's 60th anniversary.

60 years ago, along with a small group of families whose children were born with spina bifida, Mae helped form the Scottish Spina Bifida Association (which would later be renamed Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland).

When Mae's daughter Margo was born with spina bifida in 1959, the doctor told Mae to go home, let nature take its course and ‘try for a normal baby’. She was appalled. Along with her husband Ron, Mae researched more about spina bifida and what it might mean for their baby. They were determined that Margo would be able to do anything she put her mind to - that she would be unstoppable. 💜

Margo went on to complete a pharmacology degree at university and trained as a paediatrician at the Royal Sick Children’s Hospital in Glasgow. She went on to become a respected consultant clinical geneticist. Now retired, Margo is the Chairperson of SBH Scotland and works tirelessly to ensure those living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus have the support they need to reach their full potential.

🗣Mae Whiteford says:

“Zipslide the Clyde was an amazing experience! I would have never imagined when we first gathered together as a small group of parents 60 years ago, that the charity would grow into what it is today and help thousands of families across Scotland.

“I am proud to have been involved in founding the charity all those years ago. Taking part in Zipslide the Clyde to raise vital funds to help support families feel unstoppable was the perfect way to mark the charity’s anniversary.”

Margo and her brother Leslie were there to cheer Mae on as she took to the skies for Zipslide the Clyde.

Please join us in celebrating Mae's incredible achievement! 👏

Please join us in cheering on and supporting Jon Wilson and Suzanne Garnett who have just embarked on a Race Across Scotland to raise money for SBH Scotland! 🙌

Jon and Suzanne set off from Comrie yesterday and are attempting to get to John O'Groats within 5 days using public transport! 🚃 🚊 🚋 🚌

Jon, who has spina bifida, came up with the idea for the challenge as a way to honour his mum Elsie, who was one of the founders of the Scottish Spina Bifida Association (which would later be renamed Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Scotland) 60 years ago.

Jon aims to create a memorable journey while raising much-needed funds to help those living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus feel unstoppable. 💜
