While one marathon would be a step too far for many of us, spare a thought for Ballyclare man Jonny Lindsay who's currently running the equivalent of eight marathons in eight days!

The run's inspired by Jonny's 15-year-old son Cameron who's recovering from brain injury caused by a condition called PANDAS.
