Ally_MacLeod_is_god

Folks, Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this post. In 2007, the Ayr Tartan Army walked from Somerset Park to Hampden Park, in memory of Ally MacLeod. On the 8th October for the Scotland v Poland game, we are taking to the road again and walking from Somerset Park to Hampden Park in aid of Alzheimer's Scotland's football reminiscence project. This project in partnership with the Scottish Football museum helps football fans suffering from Alzheimer's have some sort of interaction in their life. Scotland is leading the way with this project and it has been proven to give sufferers some sort of quality of life. The projects extraordinary impact is perhaps best summed up by the wife of one of the men who attends these meetings. "He's a different person when he comes out.... It puts new life in to him and you can see that with all the men there" We know you give to other charities and we aren't asking for much. We have said that if every football fan can even donate £1 then that small amount can go a long way, to get new volunteers trained and also get these sessions available from Dingwall to Stranraer. When we walked in 2007, the media coverage was great and we are hoping for the same again. If you fancy walking all or part of the route with us then get in touch via our website www.allymacleod.co.uk To donate, Please text your amount, for example FMEM78 £1 to 70070 or visit www.allymacleod.co.uk to donate online. Your help is appreciated Ally MacLeod Tartan Army & We Have a Dream Tartan Army

Folks, In 2007 we walked from Somerset Park to Hampden in memory of Ally MacLeod and to raise awareness of Alzheimer's, and with the help of the fellow foot soldiers we raised over £27,000 for Alzheimer's Scotland and Hampden was jumping as they played "We are on the march with Ally's Army" as we handed the cheque over to Ally's wife Faye. The message that day was that Ally is still loved by us all, and we have been trying unsuccessfully for years to get him inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame. Last year, Ally got a good number of the nominations again but wasn't inducted. We asked for a freedom of information act request on the number of votes received but this wasn't recorded by the hall of fame, but to their credit they gave us all the other information. This year we want to step up the campaign and show that Ally deserves his place in the hall of fame. We have had some Ally masks made for us (ready to wear) and we are hoping that we can start the ball rolling with this and that 100's of Ally's will turn up in Dublin in June and at Hampden thereafter. It will be fun but at the same time hopefully get a message across to the media there. The picture for the masks was picked by the MacLeod family and shows a smiling, happy Ally. Can you help spread the word and join us in our quest. Any profit from the production of the masks will be donated yet again to Alzheimer's Scotland. We also have an online petition on Change.org that we intend to hand to the Hall of Fame once the inductions commence later this year. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=251923818475 Let's go on the March with Ally's Army again.........
