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.
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, who is originally from Alloa, told Edinburgh Live: "My dad was an avid golfer and that is how he found out he had motor neurone disease, he played golf three or four times a week when he retired from the police service. Gregor's dad's condition started to deteriorate quickly. He explained: "It is tough to see someone that who played lots of sport be like this, my dad played football, he played golf and he was a good runner. I certainly will be thinking of him on October 1 when I finish my events. I planned it for then because that is his birthday."
