THE uncle of a six-month-old Dalmuir boy who passed away just before Christmas in 2022 has opened up on an "emotional" fundraiser held in his memory.

Grayson Bobby Fraser tragically died 19 months ago. This led to the formation of Grayson's Gift, an initiative set up by parents Cheryl Murray and Graeme Fraser, which aims to spread joy throughout the area.

After the success of last year's event, family and friends once again gathered at Mountblow Park over the weekend in memory of the tot.

Andd Grayson's uncle Graham Murray, who was involved in organising the fundraiser, detailed the importance of the day.

He told the Post: "It was a really good day and it went well. We raised money for the Brightest Star last year as well.

"They are a great charity who have helped my sister and her partner through the loss of their son.

"We always want to do it for a local charity as well which is why we chose Men Matter Scotland who do really important work within the community.

Graham and his friend Rab arranged a football match between a Rangers and Celtic side.

As well as this there was a bouncy castle, raffle and stalls available.

The 35-year-old also opened up on the difficult but rewarding nature of the event.

"The fundraiser was for a great cause, though, and the focus on that aspect helped us all get through the day."

We previously spoke to Cheryl and Graeme who explained that one of their reasons for starting Grayson's Gift was to give back to the community who supported them during their darkest hours. 

Cheryl said: "Grayson was such a happy wee boy and all he knew was love. I thought, to keep his memory alive, 'Why don't we donate to the charity and attach a wee card to those presents telling people a little bit about Grayson and why they are receiving that gift'."
