Transplant girl to climb mountain
A 15-year-old girl from Worcestershire who had a liver transplant in April is climbing Mount Snowdon.

Charlotte Worton of Stourport-on-Severn had the seven-hour operation at Birmingham Children's Hospital.

She planned to do the climb last month but had to cancel after developing complications with her new organ.

But Charlotte said she is determined to raise thousands of pounds to show her appreciation by attempting the climb on Saturday.
