A Dublin teenager with a rare and debilitating skin disease is undertaking a gruelling mini-marathon challenge to raise funds for others with the disorder.

Claudia Scanlon, 16, from Terenure has epidermolysis bullosa (EB), also known as butterfly skin, a condition that causes the skin layers and internal body linings to blister and wound at the slightest touch.
