It evolves from a mass of irregular, fast-growing tumours in the first portion of the small intestine.In the last few months of his life Wullie enjoyed great support from hospice staff and the services they offered.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now on iOS and Android.As a result, former Kilmarnock FC youth stars Ross and Marc want to acknowledge the help and assistance their late father received.And they plan to complete the trek on the West Highland Way as a special tribute to their dad.Speaking about the challenge Ross said: “I’ve never done it before.
