Lochlan Murdoch was just four years old and a week into starting primary school when he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
In the years that followed he raised more than £10,000 to help other children with the condition.
But during the Covid lockdown he took his desire to make a difference to the next level by launching his own charity, Lochlan’s Legacy.
Now 14 and about to start his fourth year of high school in Cumnock, the teenager has been awarded £30,000 to help young people living with Type 1 diabetes.
