Good friends raise £1,700 and counting with online quiz

Lois Gunn and Ella Bonnyman had people taking part from Forfar to Stockholm.

Two friends have raised more than £1,700 for charity with an online quiz.

Lois Gunn and Ella Bonnyman, pupils at Hyndland Secondary School, had people taking part from Forfar to Stockholm.

The cash will go to Alzheimer Scotland as Lois’s grandfather has the illness.

It is not the first time the enterprising pals have raised money for good causes.

Last year Lois, 11, and Ella, 12, had a bake sale and raised £400 for the Children's Hospital. 

Lois’ mother Beatrix said:  “They did a great job. 

“There were lots of local people as well as others from Stockholm, London and Forfar.

“So far, they have raised more than £1,700 which is amazing."

The girls have a Justgiving page where people can donate money.

They said: "This year we have decided to do our annual fundraiser, an online quiz, for Alzheimer Scotland. 

The friends are pupils at Hyndland Secondary School.

“This is a really important charity to us as Lois's grandpa was sadly diagnosed with Alzheimer's several years ago.

“Everyone knows how difficult it can be for those affected and we would like to help make a difference.   

“We really appreciate your donation as everything we raise will help.”
