The chairperson of a group set up to support those living with Pulmonary Fibrosis has highlighted the work of families in County Derry in raising awareness of the illness.
Derry Now last week spoke to Draperstown man Mickey McGlone and Maghera woman Bridie McCloskey, who live with the condition, at a launch event in Coleraine.

It's hoped new awareness campaign, involving the group's logo being emblazoned on the sides and back of Strabane man Martin Lynch's milk tanker, will further embed the illness into the minds of the public.
