An Edinburgh woman who has undergone two emergency eye operations says that she plans to complete the Edinburgh marathon for both her and her visually impaired father.
Gail Burns has shared her own personal story about how she had to be rushed under the knife after it was discovered that she was suffering from serious issues with her eyes.
Gail had originally planned to run in the London Marathon for the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) in 2022 as her father lives with macular degeneration - a condition with no cure.
