A Carrickfergus woman who suffered a stroke at just 20 years of age is to complete a series of challenges to raise awareness of the condition.

Kate Gorman, 30, embarked on the first of 10 fundraising events back in February in support of the Stroke Association.

These included multiple walks, mountain climbing, and learning how to paddle-board, with each challenge designed to be more difficult than the one before it.

The campaign was organised to mark the 10 years since Kate suffered a bleed in her brain following a heart infection.
