Highland fundraisers inspired by the memory of a little boy who lost his life to a rare form of muscular dystrophy are set to host a fourth annual fundraiser for bereaved families this weekend.

Leo’s Pride, founded in 2018 for Louise and Mitchell Flett’s son Leo, will hold Party with the Pride at the Kingsmills Hotel on September 21.

Leo lived with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy Type 1C but lost his courageous fight against the condition at the age of four in July 2019.

This year their annual Party with the Pride event will raise funds for the baby loss charity Held in Our Hearts.

Mrs Flett said: “When Leo died, there were no charities in the Highlands supporting parents of child loss meaning Mitchell and I had to navigate our way through finding our own support to help us with the immense grief of losing Leo.

“I am delighted we have partnered Held In Our Hearts in supporting bereaved parents of baby and child loss.

“Had Held In Our Hearts been in the Highlands at the time, they would have been invaluable to us.”

Guests at the Party with the Pride will be able to enjoy a three-course meal, auction and live music and entertainment.
