Even the most athletic among us would find it tough to run a 10k every day for a whole month.
But that's what one Derry man set out to do through the month of September in memory of his twin brother.
Ryan Dillon lost his brother Emmette Dillon last September after he was last seen leaving his apartment in the Crawford Square area of city.

In loving tributes following his death, communities from right across Derry and beyond paid their respect to the "sweetest human".
In 2015, Emmette created an everlasting legacy in the city when he encouraged people to check for signs of cancer as part of a campaign as he lost his mother to the illness when she was only 45.

Meanwhile, his brother Ryan has already run 17 10k's throughout the month of September in his brother's memory, with his final run set to come on September 30.
The inspirational family man has set up a GoFundMe page with the aim of raising money for Foyle Search and Rescue, Foyle Prevention Team and ARC.
Speaking to MyDerry about his progress, Ryan said: "I have been very lucky and have received a lot of support from the good people of Derry and Donegal.
"I have only had to run one day on my own so far. Groups of people have joined me every day apart from that one. My family and friends, who don't run, have been coming down to the start and finish to give a bit of support.
"My legs have managed to hold OK so far. I'm getting the odd ache and pain but the month of September was always going to be a difficult month as it is Emmette's anniversary, so I thought it could be a good time to try do something positive.
"My main aim was to raise as much money as I could for the three local charities that helped with searching and recovering Emmette and then ARC for helping me personally with their family support group.
"No matter how much money is raised, it will only be a drop in the ocean for what these charities deserve but it is a small token of my thanks to them."
