Ian Bates, David Guiney, Russell Kennedy, Steve Cardosi and Michael Crawford all took part as a relay team in the Belfast Marathon this year.
They are all members of Dromore athletic club which is in N Ireland. Ian has an eighteen year old daughter who had corrective heart surgery a couple of years ago thanks to the vigilance of her GP. She is fit and well and thrives at a range of sports thanks to the Surgeons doctors and nursing staff of the RVH Belfast. Ian decided to organise a relay team within his athletic club to compete in the marathon and decided to get sponsorship to donate to CRY.
The team finished the marathon in 3 hours 42 minutes and raised £85 on their Virgin Money Giving page.
