Hundreds of people attended a family fun day in Angus in aid of a Longforgan boy born with a rare genetic disorder.

Elsa and Olaf from Disney’s Frozen were guests of honour at the event to raise money for the Blake McMillan Trust at Lochside Leisure Centre in Forfar.

They attended the event courtesy of Elsa’s Party Wishes and performed the film’s hit song Let It Go during the afternoon.

Local woman Denise Black previously worked with Blake’s mum Jenny and she was inspired to organise the fun day to raise money for the trust.

Jenny said: “My life revolves around caring for my children, and trying to raise funds to cure my son of this dreadful condition he suffers from.

“It is just wonderful when individuals take on an event for me.

“It is a lot of work coordinating events, so when Denise offered to arrange a fun day, I was over the moon.”

Three-year-old Blake suffers from MeCP2 Duplication Syndrome, one of the rarest medical conditions in the world.

The trust raises money to carry out further research into the incurable condition.

Blake was diagnosed when he was just 20 days old and is only the fifth boy in Scotland to be diagnosed.

Individuals with MeCP2 Duplication Syndrome have delayed development of motor skills such as sitting and walking.

Denise said: “I would like to say a special thanks to Mark Nisbett for letting me hold my event at Lochside Leisure Centre and supporting this worthwhile charity.

“Also, thanks to Stepping Stones playgroup and the committee for offering their services to me to make this event as successful as possible.

“Many thanks for all the donations of cakes and toys including contributions from the Angus Toy Appeal.

“Thanks also to local businesses such as Dundee Cheesecakes and Reinvention who have given items for lucky dip stalls.”

Attractions included a bouncy castle, beat the goalie, sticker treasure hunt, mini makeovers, face painting and Minion and Frozen tattoos.
