A WALK across the Kincardine and Clackmannanshire bridges in memory of Dayna Clark has been hailed a success by its organiser.

Rhona Clark organised the charity walk which took place on Sunday, May 20, in order to pay tribute to her daughter, who sadly passed away in 2008 and would have turned 21 today, Wednesday, May 23.

To commemorate that milestone birthday, Dayna’s family and friends got together adorned in pink to cross the two bridges to raise money for four charities: CHAS, Make-a-wish Foundation, Clic Sargent and CLLASP, all of which are children and cancer charities.

Rhona spoke of her delight at how the day went.

She told the Advertiser: “It went brilliantly. There was over 50 people who all had their pink on, which was Dayna’s favourite colour. The weather wasn’t too hot either which made the walk a bit more bearable.”

Rhona also revealed that they had raised over £2,500 which will be split between the aforementioned charities, with more donations still to come in to Rhona and her family.

Although there is nothing major planned at the moment, Rhona said that there are always fundraising efforts ongoing.

She said: “There are always people doing things in Dayna’s name. This Wednesday would have been Dayna’s 21st birthday, so it was a memorial for her, like a birthday party.”

Rhona also passed on her thanks, saying: “Just a big thanks to everyone who took part and to everyone who donated for the charities.

“They all mean a lot because they helped when Dayna was sick. It all keeps Dayna’s memory alive.”

After chemotherapy, Dayna spent her recovery with the CHAS team in Kinross.

They arranged for her to go see Falkirk FC play and to meet the players, eating for the first time in six weeks on the same day.

After that Rachel House managed to get Dayna and her family along to see High School Musical 3 on opening day.

The Make-a-Wish Foundation arranged for Dayna to meet Duffy before and after a gig, before the singer dedicated Distant Dreamer to her from the stage.

And around a month before her passing, the youngster helped open up the Clackmannanshire Bridge with Alex Salmond.

Dayna sadly passed away aged just 11-years-old after being diagnosed with a diffuse pontine glioma, which is an inoperable brainstem tumour.
