Three friends from Belfast who are running 32 marathons in 32 days across 32 counties have reached the half way stage.

Noel McNally, Niall Farquharson and Paul Tyrell are members of Beechmount Harriers running club and are raising money for the Children's Cancer Unit Charity.

Their adventure began on August the 2nd and will finish at the Mary Peters Track in Belfast on September the 2nd.

Paul Tyrell told Q Radio money raised today (Saturday 18th August) will be donated to the family of a young County Down cancer victim who lost his battle for life.

Paul said: "Young Daniel Forsyth, from County Down. We're in Castlewellan so that's gonna be a big day with lots and lots of people there and good support there."

Adding, "What we really need to is get awareness out out there and get people to put their hands in their pockets and get onto our JustGiving (page) CCU32 and donate some money".
