Co Derry woman's 30 challenges for 30 years for diabetes charity

A Co Derry woman diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes is set to take on 30 challenges to mark her 30th birthday.

Gemma Martin from Faughanvale was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when she was just 12 years old and has been managing the condition ever since.

With some help from her friends, Gemma came up with the ‘30 for 30’ list; including completing a half marathon in under 2 hours, a sky dive, running up Eglinton Main Street in a bikini and wearing a chicken suit to a Westlife concert.
