Doddie Champion, Stuart Thom, has completed an epic 5 marathons in 5 days in support of My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, raising an incredible £30,000.

Each day took a different route, some taking in the sights of Belfast, others along the Lough and North Down.

Stuart was joined by several brilliant supporters, including former Scotland captain, Budge Poutney.

The 5 in 5 challenge is the latest in a long line of incredible fundraisers organised by Stuart, all of which have been immense in the support they raise for the Foundation and the limits to which they push participants…we can’t wait to hear what Stuart is cooking up next!

If you wish to support the 5 in 5, you can do so via the JustGiving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/stuart-thom...
