A MAN who only has a fifth of his intestines remaining following serious illness has completed a momentous kayaking trip through the Great Glen in aid of a hospital charity.
Justin Hansen, 57, also known as the ‘gutless kayaker’, relies on intravenous nutrition being pumped into his body to stay alive. He is normally connected to the pump 12 hours a day but to complete his latest adventure, he was connected to the life support round the clock.
The occupational therapist, who lives in Portsmouth, had to waterproof the pump in his backpack in case he capsized in the loch or canal.
