Scottish footballing icon Graeme Souness has hit the £1million mark as he is set to swim 21-miles across the English Channel for charity this weekend.
The Rangers legend is taking on the stretch of water tomorrow with a group of ex-marines to raise money for 14-year-old schoolgirl Isla Grist. The cash is being used to fund research into epidermolysis bullosa (EB) – which he calls “the cruellest of cruel diseases”.
He befriended Isla, from the Black Isle near Inverness, who has “butterfly skin”, which causes the skin to tear or blister at the slightest touch causing extreme pain, reports the Record.
