'She was an incredible character'
Heartfelt tributes have been paid to a Leicestershire woman who raised nearly a million pounds for charity.
Claire Lomas died following an accident in Jordan in the Middle East, her family has said in a statement.
The 44-year-old set herself numerous challenges since her horse riding accident in 2007, which left her paralysed.
Ms Lomas was an early beneficiary of the Matt Hampson Foundation - founded by ex-England and Leicester Tigers rugby player Matt Hampson OBE, who was paralysed from the neck down after a training accident when he was 20.
He launched the foundation to help others who had suffered serious sporting injuries and became a friend to Ms Lomas.
Matt spoke to 成人快手 Leicester's Ady Dayman and paid tribute to Claire.
