Iain, 8, has already undergone 20 surgeries in his short life - the first when he was just 48 hours old.
A Rangers daft youngster from Bonhill who is battling a one in 32,000 disease has been named as the club’s Heart Hero.
Despite his young age, Iain has already undergone 20 surgeries in his short life, the first at only 48 hours old, and spent the first 150 days of his life in hospital. “Despite his condition, Iain is a bright, engaging and capable wee boy and has defied all the odds and challenges that he has faced in his life so far,” said Nicola.
Sadly, after 14 hours in theatre, a decision had to be taken to leave his heart partially repaired and subsequently it became apparent that the surgery had failed. “Despite a slow recovery, which included intensive care, physio and even a stroke, Iain overcame every setback and has made slow and steady progress.”
