00:00My name is Madhu Fraser, and I'm Alma's mum, and a year ago, almost a year ago, Alma,
00:08one month before she finishes Primary 7, she got taken from Inverness to Glasgow in the
00:17charity helicopter for an emergency operation in her brain, so basically to save her life,
00:25so that happened last May, and that was the beginning of Alma's journey.
00:37I'm Sarah Byam, I was Alma's teacher last year in P7, and we were all really shocked
00:44when she was taken to hospital and supported her for the last couple of months whilst we
00:51were all in P7, and she was in Glasgow, and we love doing Zumba, and we really wanted
00:57to do something to support Alma, but also to support the charities that have supported
01:01her, so a group of us concocted, or decided that we would do a Zumba-thon, a charity Zumba-thon
01:09in aid of the Scottish Charity Air Ambulance, which was a charity that Alma had chosen,
01:15so we've plotted and planned, and it's grown arms and legs, and we want people to come
01:20and join us, and Alma and all her friends are doing the teas and coffees and refreshments,
01:26and we've got these lovely t-shirts to sell, all going towards, all the money raised will
01:32go towards the Charity Air Ambulance, so it's been a project, we've got a fantastic instructor
01:38who has been really helping us along the way, and lots of people are wanting to get involved,
01:42so hopefully we can raise lots of money, which will show Alma how much we love her, and also
01:49raise some money for the charity.
01:50There's an Eventbrite page that's been spread widely on social media, and there's also some
01:56posters around locally, you can sign up, it's £10 to sign up, and come along on the day,

02:20do 10 minutes and then have tea and cake and then come back for another 10 minutes, it's
02:23up to you, but it's just about taking part, you can get some sponsorship for your taking
02:30part, or you can just come and buy cake and support us, so there's lots of ways you can
