An Ellon man suffering from Type 1 diabetes has been described as an ?inspiration? by staff at the Aberdeen centre where he has been a patient since he was 14.
Steven Reaper, 37, handed over a ?3000 cheque to the Centre for Diabetes and Endocrinology which he raised after completing one of the world?s most demanding obstacle courses - the Tough Mudder in Dalkeith.
Also at the presentation was five year old Ty McAlley, a friend of the Reaper family, who was diagnosed as a Type 1 sufferer when he was three and a half. The condition means taking insulin injections for life.
Mr Reaper said: ?I was inspired to take on the Mudder by the dedication of the staff at the centre, and by the bravery of Ty.
