I've lost my sight but it's plain to see I'd be stuck without my boy

A BLIND dad will compete in the Great Scottish Run this weekend - with his young son alongside him as his trusty guide.

Jay Cruz Semple, 45, from Knightwood in Glasgow, lost his sight a decade ago after he developed rare genetic condition choroideremia which causes progressive vision loss.

He is now hoping to raise funds for private treatment that may one day let him see his 11-year-old son TylerJames's face again.

Tyler-James began running with his dad from the day he could walk and the pair would often take part in parkruns together, but Jay's sight quickly began to deteriorate.

By the time he was six, Tyler-James had become his dad's running guide and they'd joined Knightwood Harriers.
