A severe head injury survivor from Newry has spoken about her experience.

Fiona was 19 years-old when she was involved in a road accident eleven years ago.

Doctors didn't expect her to recover from her injuries.

She joined yesterday's 'Great Big Walk' when it passed through Newry, aimed at shining a little on communities that bridge their divides.

And told Q Radio that often head injury survivors can feel marginalised.
