Glasgow man wild swimming every Saturday to raise funds for sister with breast cancer

A Glasgow man is raising money for his sister by doing a cold water swim in a sea or loch every Saturday until she finishes her treatment.

William Scott, from Glasgow's southside, has undertaken the brave feat in aid of younger sister Allison, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in February this year.

The money raised for Allison - a 29-year-old mum of a two-year-old - will go towards paying for her bills or medical treatment or for a holiday for her and her child once she finishes her treatment.

Speaking to Glasgow Live about the fundraiser, William said: "I started last week at Seamill. I'll be doing it for a while, maybe up to July time.

"I'm going to do Loch Lomond and I was down at Seamill, I'll go back there. I'm going to have a look and see where else I can go to be honest. My two aunties are doing a thing for Cancer Research and I went with them once and that gave me the idea to do it".

So far over £600 has been raised towards a total funding goal of £1,000, with William adding that the money raised will go towards "either just a holiday or helping out with paying bills or medical treatment" for his sister.
