A County Derry man has raised over £15,000 for charity in memory of his sister after completing a 20-mile barefoot walk on Saturday.
Niall O Kane walked from Dunloy, County Antrim, to his native Maghera in his bare feet to raise money for Northern Ireland Hospice in memory of his sister Brenda, who passed away last month.
The feat was made all the more remarkable when Niall woke up to an inch of snow on the morning of the walk, but with his wife and daughter leading the way in the car, he completed the walk in 8 hours.

A County Derry man is to take on the personal challenge of walking 20 miles in his bare feet in memory of his sister, who passed away last month.
Niall O Kane, will make the trek, just 6.2 miles short of a marathon, from his house in Dunloy, County Antrim, to his sister s grave in his native Maghera on Saturday.
Niall s sister Brenda passed away in March after battling cancer for almost two years, and his challenge is the result of the family s wish to mark her passing.
