Cowie man Bryan Norris is set to take to the skies for a flying fundraiser after being given a devastating diagnosis.
Builder Bryan, 60, will be taking on the terrifying zip line in North Wales - described as the fastest in the world - alongside family and friends next week to raise money for the MND Scotland charity.

“He started getting pins and needles and wasn’t feeling 100 per cent, but he just kept putting it down to age until he started to slur his words and lose his speech and it was then that I persuaded him to go the GP.
“He was told then that it was arthritis of the spine and then he got his throat looked at because they thought it might be something to do with the gullet.”

On the page, Bryan writes: “The impact this is having on not only myself but my family is crippling.
“Unfortunately there is no cure for this horrible disease but I am
