Lanarkshire pals who 'didn't want to live' open up on dark days before running changed their lives

Two friends from South Lanarkshire are hoping their mammoth fundraising run will help other men share their struggles.

Pals David Hamilton and David Cairney have set themselves the challenge of running 100 miles in less than 24 hours to raise funds for the venue which brought them together.

The pair met at an event on Tinto Hill held by Hamilton's Bravehearts Boxing Gym and now jog together three or four times a week.

They realised that their stories were similar and both had reached a point where they didn't want to live anymore, but through running they've transformed their lives.
