A Cambridge woman who suffered a rare form of stroke as she cycled to work has been nominated for a Pride of Britain award after conquering Mount Snowdon with a group of friends.

Rosie Tween had a spinal stroke five years ago, and has not been able to walk since.

Charity ‘Back Up’ helped in her rehabilitation, and as a way to say thank you she started fundraising for them.

As part of her efforts, she and a group of friends became the first all-female team to complete ‘The Snowdon Push’ – a challenge which sees a wheelchair user make it to the top of one of Britain’s highest peaks.

They raised more than £20,000.
