A Belgian cyclist has arrived in Tayside as part of a charity journey that has already taken him thousands of kilometres around Europe.
Jeroen De Schepper, who is raising money to help combat Huntington’s Disease, has already cycled more than 10,000km.
He arrived at the Linlathen Neurodisability Centre on Sunday before continuing his journey to Paisley.
His trip has taken him to sunspots like Barcelona and Milan but he says he is delighted to be in Scotland.
He said: “It is great to be here. I can already see that the quality of the care that people get here is what they really need.
“Huntington’s is a disease which has wreaked havoc in my family. What it means to my family is the untimely death of my grandmother, the deterioration and the eventual death of my aunt Ria and at present the decline of my aunts, Emma and Bernadette.
“Although curing the disease is impossible at the moment, it doesn’t mean we have to wait and watch.
“The Huntington Liga, of which my aunt Bea is the European president, has successfully set up many initiatives to support families and guarantee a decent care of Huntington patients.
“I started my journey on April 5 and I hope to raise awareness of the disease as well as fundraise for the construction of Huntington houses in Eastern Europe.”
