Co Tyrone epilepsy warrior Billy Caldwell and his Mum Charlotte are set to embark on an epic road trip across Ireland and the UK today.

It's to raise awareness for the benefits of medicinal cannabis.

The 12-year-old Castlederg boy was the first person to be prescribed medical cannabis on the NHS and is now the face of Billy's Bud medicine.

He suffers from a rare life-threatening form of epilepsy, and his mother says the drug saved his life.

Mum Charlotte says the pair will leave Stormont at 2pm in their camper van and take their message of hope across the UK.
