LISTEN: Fortrose | Feeling freezing in splash for cash
Would you jump into the cold sea for money?
Three Highland women have jumped into the water at Fortrose Harbour, for our charity splash for Kids - sorry, that should read: Cash for Kids!
Sadie, Tessa, and Rachel from the town's Co-op were helping to fundraise for MFR's Mission Christmas appeal.
Last year MFR Cash for Kids' Mission Christmas appeal helped over 4,500-children.
This year the demand is no different, and we need your help.
You can CLICK HERE to get involved in helping to make sure that every kid in the North will have something to open on December 25th.
Cash donations are making a real difference in helping the team buy presents for the people we are not receiving enough gifts for - including teenagers who some people find challenging to cater for.
LISTEN: We sent Dan from MFR's Home Run to see how Sadie, Tessa, and Rachel got on...
