Jackson was very keen to hold a bake sale as part of the ‘Me and My World’ section of his Bronze JAS (Join in Award Scheme) through his school. He encouraged his friends also doing the award to join him.
He is the son of John Campbell, owner of local Roseburn tile showroom Collinson Porcelain and Ceramic Tiles and is arguably following the entrepreneurial footsteps of his Dad and Grandfather Peter Campbell (founder).
Over £1000 Raised for Doddie Foundation
Together the boys got baking and honed their sales patter with the thousands of international visitors passing through Roseburn Street for the rugby match. They are thrilled and delighted to have raised over £1000 through online donations, cash and card sales for the charity set up by the much loved Scot’s rugby legend Doddie Weir.
In June 2017 Doddie revealed he was suffering from Motor Neurone Disease and in November 2017 Doddie launched the charity, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. The Foundation’s strategic plan has 5 main pillars - research, support, awareness, sustainability and love, fun & hope.
Love, Fun and Hope
Jackson’s grandfather, Collinson’s founder Peter Campbell also battled with MND and so it’s an important charity for Jackson’s family. The Foundation’s pillar of ‘love, fun and hope’ certainly rang true on Saturday among the boys and the fantastic crowds.
