A Co Tyrone native will take on the Dublin Marathon next weekend in memory of his mum who died from a brain tumour.
Seamus McAteer, 46, originally from Strabane, will run the 26.2 mile course on Sunday 30 October to raise money for the charity Brain Tumour Research. It comes after his mum, Anne McAteer, 75, died from a brain tumour in August 2018.
Seamus, a postman who now lives in Ballymoney, first realised something was wrong with his mum in May 2018 when he returned home following a knee operation in hospital.
