Dying wish to help others...

TWO years on from the New Year death of her husband, a devoted wife has made a documentary about the trip that fulfilled his last dying wish.

Before his death from mouth cancer on New Year’s Eve in 2006, David Read told wife Louise of his wish to row 22 miles across Loch Ness and after carrying out the dream she has made a film about the trip to highlight the dangers of the disease.
