Determined dad David Courtenay has climbed Mont Blanc and trekked 50 miles across the Arctic Circle - but he insists his latest challenge in aid of Robin House was his toughest yet. The 38-year-old endured sleep deprivation and extreme fatigue last month as he pushed himself to the limit to run four miles, every four hours for 48 hours. It is the latest in a series of epic feats which David has completed to raise cash for charities which have supported his son Adam, who was born with a rare brain condition. This time round the funds will be split between Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity and Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS), which runs the Balloch children’s hospice.
