The brother of a young man who died in a tragic road accident has vowed to honour his 40th birthday this year with a series of gruelling challenges.
Matthew Stuart died following a one-vehicle road traffic collision just outside Ballynahinch, Co Down, on April 16, 2020. With his death coming at a time when the world was in lockdown, his funeral had ten people at it - something that was tough for his family, who describe Matt as "a real people person".
"We thought we would do a memorial service after that but Covid continued and it never felt right to do it. We always would have joked that Matt was like Peter Pan, because he never seemed to get older, so the fact that he would be turning 40 wouldn't have been something he'd shout about. He would have got a bit of stick for it.
They'll start with Ben Nevis in Scotland on April 14, then on to Scafell Pike in the North of England on April 16, then Snowdon in Wales on April 17 and finishing at home, with the Slieve Donard. They'll end the challenge on April 18, which would have been Matthew's 40th birthday.
