Scots dad to take on massive 1,200-mile trek from Land’s End to John O’Groats in memory of tragic son

The father of a vet who died by suicide has embarked on an epic 1,200-mile walk from Land’s End to John O’Groats to raise money and awareness to try to prevent more tragedies.

Professor John Gibson from Callander was devastated by the tragic loss of his 24-year-old son Cameron, a farm vet, in October 2019.

John is tackling the mammoth journey to raise £250,000 for The Canmore Trust, a charity set up with his wife Isobel, son Malcolm and daughter Eilidh in Cameron’s memory, with the aim of preventing more suicides and supporting those affected when someone dies by suicide.
