Megan Halvey-Ryan to run half-marathon after scoliosis surgery success

A Limerick teen who was left unable to walk for long periods due to her scoliosis is set to compete in a half-marathon.

Megan Halvey-Ryan, 14, underwent life-changing surgery earlier this year to correct her twisted spine, having waited more than two years for treatment.

The condition left the youngster having to take days off school, unable to walk for extended periods of time and living in excruciating pain.
