A Co Down man is taking on an ultra marathon challenge (52 miles) in a bid to raise funds for a charity supporting a school friend diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
Steven Morgan specialises in endurance challenges and previously summited Slieve Donard 100 times last year, raising more than £3,500 for Chest, Heart and Stroke NI along the way.
The Hillsborough man was inspired to take on his latest challenge when he heard the sad news that an old school friend, Julia Nelson-Kearney, had been diagnosed with MND.
