A Laois woman with a rare skin condition is marking her 36th birthday with a 36km walk.
Emma Fogarty from Abbeyleix, lives with a disorder that causes the skin layers and internal body linings to blister and wound, commonly known as butterfly syndrome.
Currently, more than 75% of her body is covered in open sores.
She isn't letting that stop her and has received messages of support from Hollywood actor Colin Farrell and Irish rugby captain Johnny Sexton.
Emma explains why she's taking on the challenge for Debra Ireland, which helps those with butterfly syndrome:
