A BRAVE Cardross schoolboy has inspired classmates, staff members and friends of his school to clock up more than 10,000 miles for charity – in the space of just a fortnight. Mackenzie Cameron, 11, has a rare genetic condition which makes him vulnerable to infection – and spent eight weeks in hospital at the beginning of this year after contracting Covid-19. Although he managed to beat the disease – despite suffering four respiratory arrests and two cardiac arrests during his lengthy stay at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow – one of the side-effects was that Mackenzie had to learn to walk again. But he’s been out and about doing just that every day, and throughout the two weeks of the Easter break it was Mackenzie and his family who led the way in raising cash for Samuel’s Smile and the John O’Byrne Foundation.

STARTING a new job in the midst of a global pandemic seemed quite scary at first, but my colleagues at the Glasgow Times couldn’t have been more helpful whilst I was settling in. I joined the team at the end of September following two-and-a-half years working at the paper’s sister title – the Clydebank Post. After working from the comfort of my own home for months, I was finally allowed to step foot back into an office environment – although it was much different than before. We have to wear face masks at times and sit at individual desks - socially distanced from each other.
