Debbie Edwards is no stranger to a challenge. Registered blind, she lives with an incurable form of breast cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
Despite those health battles, the 36-year-old from Stockton in Teesside, won't let anything hold her back. Her latest feat will see her pull her trainers back on for the Great North Run.
Not only that, she’s also organising a 5k charity fun run with a stretch through the grounds of a local prison. Described by her friends as “positive, courageous and inspirational”, Debbie was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 19.
