A grandmother-of-three from Northern Ireland is cycling 89 miles around the largest lake in Ireland to help bring life-changing surgery to the world's poorest nations.
Nina Bleakley, who is from Portadown and works as a nurse at Belfast City Hospital, will be pedaling her way around Lough Neagh to celebrate turning 60 while raising money for international development charity Mercy Ships.
Renal nurse Nina has been inspired by the charity since her general surgeon daughter Anna Bleakley, who works at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, volunteered for a year on hospital ship the Africa Mercy in 2017.
