Pam gears up for 2,500km cycle for Chernobyl

A 70-year-old widow is preparing to embark on a gruelling 2,500km cycle to raise much-needed funding for children with a congenital heart defect.

Twenty-nine years after the Chernobyl nuclear accident, a new generation is still affected by radiation.

In the Cycle for Baby Hearts, Pam Norris, from Kinsale, Co Cork, aims to raise €100,000 for life-saving treatment for children in Ukraine.
