Lanark student Ron North producing charity single after cancer fight

AFTER losing one of his eyes to a rare form of cancer, Ron North is aiming to raise funds – by releasing his own charity single.

Music student Ron (26) was diagnosed with ocular melanoma in June 2009.

A series of treatments failed and he eventually had to have his right eye removed in September last year.

But he is now releasing the single, Do These Words, to raise funds for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
