If you need a thoroughly deserving destination for some of you hard-earned money over the next couple of weeks, then why not attend a Scottish ceilidh or reel party and dance the night away in aid of a good cause. Here's a great selection of ceilidh and reel ideas to sift through and decide upon! Euan's ceilidh this Saturday is particularly recommended. Euan is from Edinburgh. Euan's 32yrs old, he works in Edinburgh and London, and was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease three years ago. He's a very enthusiast and postive guy and does a power of charitable work - a fab example to us all. Check out www.euansfund.com . Your help in supporting Euan and these worthy causes is appreciated. Enjoy life by helping others.
