Lynne has been to the palace to get her OBE!

 Lynne McNicoll OBE now has the insignia to prove she has the honour. 
This morning rhe Edinburgh charity Chair arrived at Buckingham Palace wearing a royal blue coat with matching hat and received the significant honour from HRH The Prince of Wales. 

Lynne said: “Prince Charles congratulated me and then chatted about why I set up the charity and how tough it was to fundraise.”

The founder of charity ItsGood2Give which supports young people with cancer, Lynne herself has been receiving treatment for cancer over recent months. Her energy is a wee bit limited but she was determined to enjoy her special day today to the full so it was a limo to the palace for Lynne and husband Ian. 

Lynne explained to The Edinburgh Reporter : “I heard about the honour in an amazing letter and it came when I was very ill so it was good timing to boost my morale.”

Lynne has raised over £2m in ten years, and of that £1.5m has been for her own charity It’s good 2 give.
