The best friend of a former paralympic swimmer from Co Tyrone is set to run the Dublin marathon to raise funds for a vehicle that would make him more independent.
Johnny Cummings from Coalisland was born with Phocomelia, a rare birth condition which affects his upper and lower limbs.
He has had to wear prosthetic legs for much of his life, but went on to have a successful swimming career where he represented Ireland at the Paralympic games.
