Springwell Running Club's Jonathan Huddleston presents a representative from NI Chest Heart and Stroke with a cheque for £2,537.50. Jonathan ran the Irish Life Dublin Marathon in support of Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke. He sadly lost his father in March 2022 and decided to support this great charity in memory of his late father. His father enjoyed training as an amateur footballer and loved Dublin, so Jonathan decided Dublin Marathon was a perfect way to remember him.
