Co Derry man to walk 65k for 65th birthday in memory of late sister and friend

A Co Derry man is to walk 65 kilometers for his 65th birthday to raise money for a cancer charity in memory of his late sister and a friend of over 37 years.

Gerry Donnelly, from the Draperstown area, has raised more than a quarter of his £6,500 target - in keeping with his 65th birthday theme - for Macmillan Cancer Support.

In an online fundraiser, he said it's "now or never" for the walking challenge "while I still can".
