Jude MacDonald
Jude was born on October 19, 2006, in ARI Aberdeen, a precious son to Eric and Ruth and brother to Lois and Maya.
Be thoughtful, be kind. Jude embodied thoughtfulness, kindness, and love – this was our beautiful Jude.
Your support will not only help us honour Jude’s memory but also raise awareness and much-needed funds for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
Our mission is to carry out screenings in the Westhill area and ideally extend this to all areas in Aberdeen and the shire. Every week in the UK, at least 12 young people die suddenly from undiagnosed heart conditions. Many of these deaths could be prevented. CRY works to reduce this number and offers support for those who are affected by young sudden cardiac death. By donating money, you will be contributing towards these costs and making a significant difference in our community. Your support will help us detect potential cardiac risks in our young people early, potentially saving lives. Together, we can make a difference.

My Story
Jude MacDonald
Jude was born on October 19, 2006, in ARI Aberdeen, a precious son to Eric and Ruth and brother to Lois and Maya.
Jude embarked on his educational journey at Scouthall Playgroup in Westhill before moving on to Elrick school. He spent seven joyful years there before transitioning to Westhill Academy, where he was in his fifth year. Jude had a fondness for the social aspects of school, though he was less enthusiastic about the academic work. Despite this, he successfully passed all his Nat5s and was preparing for his higher exams.

Jude really was a lovely lad - as you say, he was never too fussed about academia, but I'll not forget him as a budding N5 Chemist!
