Stroke survivor Edward Kelly hopes to help others with similar experiences
When he'd just turned 21-years-old Manx man Edward Kelly had a brain-stem stroke.
Despite being fully conscious he couldn't breath on his own, move his limbs or use his voice; the only way he could communicate was with his eyes.
He was in intensive care for six weeks and it took him seven months to get back on his feet.
Fast-forward 18 years and Edward recently made it to Marown in eight hours in this year's Parish Walk - raising more than £9000 for Hospice Isle of Man in the process.
Ed told Rhian Evans about his journey:
Naomi - one of Ed's support staff - told Rhian what it's like to work with Ed:
Ed is now also a Hospice IOM ambassador; Mel Kermeen from the charity told Rhian about the reasons behind giving him the role:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
