A Scots schoolgirl has overcome a near-lethal bout of strep A pneumonia to walk more than 50 miles in a month to raise funds for the hospital that saved her.
Along with mum Zahra Talakshi, little Eira walked, ran and cycled over 60 miles as part of the 100 Mile May challenge. They undertook the challenge in support of the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity and Save the Children.
Zahra aimed for 100 miles while Eira aimed for 50 – and both cleared their targets by some margin, raising almost £1,500 in the process. Glasgow Live reports that Eira, seven, overcame a strep A infection just weeks ago that had left her family fearing the worst.
