A Glasgow schoolgirl who survived strep A pneumonia, is putting her strength to the test and raising awareness and funds for the hospital that saved her.
Little Eira, from Shawlands, contracted the potentially deadly condition earlier this year, and progressed to empyema - which meant fluid filled her lungs. Her terrified mum Zahra Talakshi, watched on as her daughter worsened and had to have drains inserted into her chest for five days before she thankfully, made a full recovery.
The seven-year-old was in hospital for two weeks and off school for several more in late January, and by May she challenged herself and tested her lung capacity by attempting 100 Mile May in aid of Glasgow Children's Hospital and Save the Children.
