Maurice Jamieson, who works as a member of The Shetland Times’ printing team is doing 100 push-ups per day this month to raise funds for Diabetes UK.
The 42-year-old from Tingwall has lived with Type 1 diabetes for 26 years, which has had a major impact on his life including on his education after he developed the condition ahead of his Standard Grade exams.
Mr Jamieson is spreading his push-ups over the course of the day and admits he’s able to do more than he realised.
“It’s actually become easier, I couldn’t have done 35 to begin with, but I’m able to now.
“I definitely reckon I can do two lots of 50 by the end of the month,” he said.
