"In these times of corporate gluttony, I am truly heartened to discover that there are still so many people who embody my granddad's spirit," she said of the group which was set up to fight US ownership of Liverpool FC.
"It's an Olympic spirit - passionate pure and true. It's a dream of greatness and glory which comes from dedication, hard work and integrity. In this dream, money is only a means to an end, it's not the end itself.
"My granddad had a dream for Liverpool Football Club and you are all helping to keep that dream alive.
"It's the people with dreams who achieve things in the end because they have a vision which drives them on.
"We know Bill Shankly 'made the people happy', but I know that you would have all made him happy were he alive to see this legendary support today.
"I speak on behalf of the Shankly family when I say that we are wholeheartedly behind the Sprit Of Shankly."
