Scots grandad treks across Arctic circle in -33C conditions to raise £50k after daughter’s diabetes diagnosis
An intrepid Lanarkshire grandad has raised up to £50,000 braving Arctic conditions and scaling some of the world’s highest mountains - and he has done it all for the love of his daughter.
The Hamilton carer’s most recent trip took him to the Arctic Circle where he camped in freezing conditions for the incredible Arctic Husky Challenge. “During the day we helped prepare the food for the dogs and muck out the dog pens, it was really hands-on. I enjoyed getting involved in everything. During the exhilarating experience Brian was lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights for not one but two nights - an incredible moment he says he’ll never forget.
The following year he put his name down for the charity’s Great Wall of China trek and, in subsequent years, went on to do the West Highland Way and Mount Kilimanjaro.
