Norwich stroke survivor to tackle peak challenge
A Norfolk man given hours to live after suffering a stroke two years ago is climbing one of the Derbyshire Peaks this weekend, in the hope of inspiring others to emulate his fight for life.
Eddie Phleban, from Norwich, suffered a massive stroke on a flight home from Australia.
In hospital in Dubai he was in a "locked-in" state, only able to move his eyelids.
Last summer he carried the Olympic torch at Sandringham House. Now comes the challenge of Mam Tor.
