An Edinburgh woman will embark on a 24-hour long walk between Edinburgh and Glasgow to raise money and awareness of diabetes after finding out she had the chronic disease.
Aspiring actress, Fatima Jawara has lived in the capital or almost seven years, and was a student when she found out she had type one diabetes in 2018, just before going on skiing trip.
The 24-year-old’s hike will begin at Glasgow Queen Street on February 9 and will conclude at Edinburgh Waverley train station the next day just in time for her birthday.
