An Airdrie-based hillwalking pensioner is set to do an 80-mile walk in the Great Glen Way to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK after his brother and his friend were diagnosed with the disease.
Hugh Samson has decided to do the Great Glen Way on June 28 over seven days, including wild camping, after his brother, William Samson, and his mate, Peter Douglas, were diagnosed with prostate cancer within months of each other last year.
The 74-year-old is hoping to smash his target goal of £1000 for Prostate Cancer UK as he looks to raise awareness and funds for the charity.
