In January 2024, we unfortunately lost our son, Thomas Robert McKenzie, to miscarriage. As we approach the World Cup, Thomas would have been almost 2 years old and, alongside his sisters, we would have been looking forward to his first World Cup — buying the Scotland strips and showing him just how special a World Cup is for the Tartan Army.
Sadly, I’ll only be buying strips for my two girls, who mean the world to me.
I still wanted to do something to mark what would have been my first World Cup with my son, so I came up with the idea of raffling a Scotland World Cup hamper, with all proceeds going to @SandsUK in memory of Thomas.
The hamper includes everything you need for Scotland’s first World Cup appearance in 28 years:
* Scotland strip
* Scotland scarf
* World Cup bucket hat
* World Cup duck
* Men’s & Women’s World Cup gifting pack
* Snacks & refreshments
* Panini Sticker Album
* FourFourTwo World Cup special magazine
* A signed copy of @neildoherty1873@rowallantravel book about Scotland’s last appearance on the world stage at France ‘98, kindly donated by Neil himself
* A Just Eat takeaway voucher to complete the perfect match day

@mmgeissler out walking with my dog. Big decision. Either listening to final episode of #czarofhearts or the birds singing and bees buzzing. You are on hold for now 🐝
Were you in any shows at the Palace or Grand Hall? This picture is of the dancers for the show Irene in 1984. @EALeisure and the Kilmarnock Picture House are having an event at the Dick Institute on the 8th Feb to gather everyone's memories. Hope you can make it @Killie_History
