St Johnstone backing fundraiser for Bankfoot victims of Tunisia terror attack

Billy and Lisa Graham were killed during the attacks in Tunisia earlier this year.
Billy and Lisa Graham were killed during the attacks in Tunisia earlier this year.

A £22,000 fundraising effort in memory of Tunisia terror victims Billy and Lisa Graham made great strides last weekend.

Colin Jones, a former work colleague of Billy, led a team who completed three 10k runs over three days in memory of the Bankfoot couple.

The team are raising funds for Alzheimer Scotland’s dementia dog project and hope to sponsor and name two animals in honour of Billy and Lisa.

Colin, 53, worked for Chubb Fire and Security, for whom Billy was a regional sales manager.

He said: “They were a great couple and Billy was a great chap.

“We wanted to do something to remember the couple and 11 of us got involved over the three events.”

The challenge saw the team complete a 10K on Thursday and Friday last week, before finishing with the No Ego Challenge in Penrith on Saturday, which included a 10k run through mud and obstacles.

Colin said: “Money raised will go to Alzheimer Scotland. It was a cause close to Billy’s heart as he had lost his mum to the disease only a couple of months prior to his death.

“Alzheimer Scotland has a project called dementia dog. The project involves the sponsoring of a dog throughout its training and its life supporting someone with dementia.

“The dogs provide company for people and also do tasks such as reminding them to take tablets.

“We aim to sponsor at least one dog that will be named Billy. If we can get enough for a second that dog will be named Lisa.

“It costs in the region of £22,000 to train a dementia dog. It is a huge ask but we will try. It is a fitting legacy for two lovely people so cruelly taken from us.”

Billy worked on the turnstiles at St Johnstone’s McDiarmid Park on match days and Colin was delighted when the club’s official Twitter account re-tweeted information about the campaign. He hopes the club’s thousands of followers might chip in with cash to help the cause.
