7.20pm on Saturday 27th November 2010 was the moment when Glen said he felt unwell, within minutes his eyes closed for the very last time. Glen was kept on a life support machine until the Organ Donation Teams could get to the hospital. Glen died of a Massive Brain Stem Haemorrhage he was 44 years old and a fit and healthy active young man, there were no symptoms and we had no idea that this was going to happen. On 21st October 2011 a group of specially chosen people began to walk the West Highland Way in memory of Glen. Each of those taking part has a special connection to Glen. This is a 97 mile walk which starts near Glasgow at Milngavie and finishes in Fort William. The team will walk for 7 days covering anything from 12 – 19 miles per day. Glen planned to do this walk but unfortunately passed away before he was able to fulfill his dream. So in a tribute to Glen we will carry out his dream for him and hope to raise awareness and funds for the Brain Research Trust Charity.
