Glasgow airport working to attempt another world record for charity
William Cannon will cycle in the terminal for 72 hours to raise money for the DEBRA charity
A cleaner at Glasgow Airport, who's already set hundreds of world records, is looking to get another under his belt tonight.
At midnight, William Cannon start cycling in the terminal and aims to keep going for three days straight, all while carrying a 10kg backpack.
He's raising money for the charity Debra, after his nephews were diagnosed with rare and painful skin conditions.
William, who will cycle the equivalent of six times around Britain said: “thinking of the butterfly children, the butterfly adults who need help kind of drives me on.”

The Barrhead strongman has broken more than 600 world records and has set himself the challenge of breaking 1000 by the time he’s 65.
He said: “I’ve never failed in any challenge I’ve ever did, so I’m very proud of that record and I’m going to keep it that way.”
Over the years he’s managed to achieve titles for feats such as the longest static wall sit and the longest one elbow, one leg plank.
William will stay on the bike for the whole 72 hours with no breaks, even for sleep.
He said: “I think every challenge bring its own bucketload of nerves with it, but you know once you’re on the bike, and you get pedalling, and you get settled down, you just kind of get into cruise control.
William will be accepting donations throughout the challenge on his JustGiving page.
