Brave dad to run Edinburgh Marathon for boy with brain tumour a year from son's diagnosis

A Scots dad will run the Edinburgh Marathon and raise funds for life-saving treatment for a young boy with a stage four brain tumour - a year to the day his own son was diagnosed with the same disease.

Brave Martin Bryce will take on the 26-mile challenge exactly one year on from the "horrific" day he was told his then eight-year-old son, Leo, had a pea-sized lump in his skull that was cancerous.

The dad-of-two, whose son has since been given the all-clear, has told how he felt compelled to help eight-year-old Rudi Abbott after hearing that there was nothing more the NHS could do for him.
