Scots dad died of MND after 'bad golf club grip' led to heartbreaking diagnosis

A Scots bus driver is set to take on a gruelling challenge in memory of his dad who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease after initially noticing something was wrong with his golf club grip.

Gregor Miller, from Edinburgh, will be taking on 'five bonkers runs in five months' to raise awareness of MND after his dad Campbell Miller died from the deadly illness. He was diagnosed after noticing he was unable to grip a golf club normally before being told he only had two years to live. In 2019, he sadly passed away.

Since then Gregor, 51, has raised thousands of pounds for the Doddie Weir Foundation and his latest challenge will include a 51 miles run from Glasgow Botanic Gardens to Tynecastle Stadium this Sunday, where he is set to run out on the pitch at half time between Hearts and Celtic.
