A Castleblayney man is taking on one of Ireland's most difficult cycling challenges to raise awareness of the importance of Organ Donation.
Martin Malinowski, who moved from Poland almost 15 years ago, was Ireland's first combined heart and liver transplant recipient.
He suffered from cirrhosis of the liver and, after further complications, led to him requiring a new heart too.

Now, two years on from his double transplant, Martin is on the road to recovery. Indeed, he is tackling the Ring of Kerry this weekend to raise funds for the Irish Kidney Association.
He spoke to our reporter Jack Cunnane about his journey so far.
