Scots family puts on Christmas lights show to raise funds in daughter's memory

A FAMILY have lit up their house as part of a festive fundraiser in memory of their daughter and sister who died from a brain tumour.

Ian Craighead, 40, and his parents, Syd and Helen, both 69, from Broughty Ferry, are working with charity Brain Tumour Research for Wear A Christmas Hat Day on Friday after Sara’s (below) death aged 35 from a brain tumour in April 2013.

The family will join thousands of people across the UK in donning tinsel-topped hats and Christmas cracker crowns to raise money for research into brain tumours. They have also covered their house on Portree Avenue in Christmas lights for people to view for a donation.
