I have a poor performing thyroid which is hereditary I have to monitor it regularly and will have to go on thyroid medication for life should it fail.

My mam died from complications of the thyroid failing over 4 years ago.

This is very personal to me so this is why I have chosen this charity for the Dundee Kiltwalk.
