A Dumfries dad is preparing to tackle the London Marathon for two special causes.
Funeral director Jason Bassett will split the money he raises from the 26.2 mile run next Sunday between baby loss charity SiMBA and John’s Journey.
The 33-year-old was inspired by two-year-old John Ferguson, who was diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia, and by the work SiMBA does for bereaved parents.
