Scottish footballing legend Graeme Souness has raised nearly £350,000 in just two days after announcing he is to swim the English Channel in aid of a Scots schoolgirl.
The former Rangers and Liverpool star, 70, has become close to 14-year-old epidermolysis bullosa (EB) sufferer Isla Grist and her family, who live on the Black Isle near Inverness.
EB, also known as “butterfly skin”, is a painful, incurable skin condition that causes blisters and tears from any trauma or friction to the skin.
