PEOPLE in Glasgow are being encouraged to support an annual fundraiser which funds therapies for a 10-year-old boy who suffers from cerebral palsy.
The fourth Walk for Guy will be held on New Year’s Day, following a 10k route from Kelvindale Railway Station to the home of Guy Pentland in Drumchapel and back.

The annual fundraiser was launched in 2017 by Karen Elliott, a lifelong friend of Guy’s mum Denise, and has raised thousands of pounds to help fund expensive but life-changing therapy for the youngster.
Guy was born with cerebral palsy, affecting all four of his limbs.
Those who can’t make the official Walk For Guy in Glasgow are invited to take a New Year’s Day walk wherever in the world they are.

Participants from previous years have walked in Scotland, England, Greece and Spain.
Karen Elliott, from Kelvindale, said: “It’s amazing to be looking forward to our fourth annual #walk4guy and it’s always a privilege to start the New Year off with family and friends in support of wonderful Guy.
“It’s a great way to start the year.”
