Spinning the wheel at a casino night at Soroba House raising funds for the SMA Trust.
Charity gamblers and guests at a fundraising casino night have raised more than £6,000 to help find a cure for a disease that claimed the life of an Oban couple’s baby.
Rebecca Aitken was just five months old when she died from a little-known genetic disease in New Zealand where her parents, Jaki Aitken and Alex Johnson, had moved to. Money from the casino night and raffle at Soroba House on Saturday will now be donated in Rebecca’s name to the Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Trust which is dedicated to finding a cure. A total of just more than £6,000 ‘overwhelmed’ organisers, who said they could not have done it without community and sponsors’ support.
