Optometrist Alistair Simpson (pictured) from the Orr and Simpson Eyecare Practice in Ayr, Scotland is training for the Culzean Castle 10K run in April and the Glasgow Half Marathon in October to raise funds for 20-year-old Connor Hughes who was left quadriplegic after sustaining spinal cord injuries while playing rugby.
Hughes’ family and friends aim to raise £100,000 to cover his medical expenses including a rehabilitation programme in California and an off-road wheelchair and physiotherapy.
Donations can be made to www.connorsjourney.com which has a link to a JustGiving page.
