A cyclist who was airlifted to hospital with severe facial injuries after hitting a pothole while on a bike ride in Northumberland is gearing up for a challenge to raise money for the air ambulance that helped her.
Zoe Neasham, from Holystone, was training for an Ironman triathlon and was out cycling in Rothbury when she was suddenly catapulted over the handlebars and landed face first onto the tarmac in front of her.
Her injuries required several operations, including facial reconstruction and dental surgery. And she became "terrified" to get back on a bike following the incident on 19 April 2016.
