Dunfermline man pledges to dress as dinosaur for Spina Bifida

Lawrence Cowan, who is chief executive of Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus (SBH), has gone Jurassic this month by launching a #DineyDays Challenge to fundraise for the charity’s services!

For every £100 raised, Lawrence will wear the charity’s mascot ‘Spiney the Diney’ costume for a whole day.

He will be living his everyday life, hosting meetings, using public transport, and doing the school run, all while dressed as a giant blue dinosaur.

The #DineyDays Challenge kicked off on World Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Day on Friday, October 35 and can run until the end of November.

 Lawrence Cowan, CEO at SBH Scotland, said: “I am thrilled to launch the #DineyDays Challenge and raise money that will enable SBH Scotland families to feel unstoppable.

“From the very moment they are born, kids with spina bifida and hydrocephalus have to fight. SBH Scotland offers support and spaces where they can be themselves. Where they can be proud of who they are.

“Where parents can just be parents for a moment. SBH Scotland is more than a listening ear, more than information. They offer hope beyond diagnosis. They offer all the little things that make life worth living.

“As a charity, we need to raise £1.4 million each year to be able to continue to offer services and support that our families rely on like social groups, health and wellbeing clinics, intensive support for new babies or family outings. “Our Scottish Government money has been cut and funding is the biggest challenge we face just now. The money raised through the #DineyDays challenge will help make sure our vital services are still here next year and in the future.”
