A woman who climbed Ben Nevis after surviving a life-threatening brain haemorrhage has raised £2,000 for charity.

Tracy Marsh was told she would never walk again after suffering a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage - a leakage of blood into the subarachnoid space.

This was followed by a massive stroke which caused loss of feeling in her left side and a collapsed lung.

But the 33-year-old was determined to get back on her feet again and conquer the Scottish mountain in memory of her father Melvyn Marsh who died of cancer in November 2000.

And not only did Tracy, of Yew Tree Close, Shipley, achieve her goal, but she also raised £2,000 for Cancer Research UK.

Tracy, who was accompanied by her 14-year-old daughter, Tanya Birkett, and guide Graham Moss, completed the trek to the top in four and a half hours.

During the climb, Tracy, who is a shelf-stacker at Baildon's Co-operative store, wore a support on her left leg to prevent breaking bones or pulled muscles, although this caused bruises and cuts so her leg had to be bandaged.

She has thanked everyone who donated money to the cause and encouraged her along the way.
