Lee was 11 years old in Primary 7 when his life as he knew it ground to a halt.   He was at school as normal one Friday, and on the Monday he was admitted to Yorkhill and diagnosed with a rare leukaemia, and fell asleep for the last time 9 months later. 

Lee spent his last birthday in the Children’s Cancer Ward, turning 12 with a new iPhone and a blood transfusion to give him energy enough to stay awake x 

But the reality that is easier to focus on is the Magnificent 11 Years that Lee  filled our home and our hearts with his endless beautiful energy, his love, his friends, his cheek, his fun - and his Hundreds of footballs and mucky boots x 

He filled us with his Life x ❤️

So when Billy from Murray Walkers shared this link for such a beautifully local uplifting and energising walk that’s filled with wee bits of history and nature in the city at every turn ..
