Kevin McStravick had three spells in Musgrave Park Hospital in the past year for treatment on a serious hip injury.

His mother, Martina, was so pleased at the treatment Kevin received, she decided to take part in the Belfast marathon to raise money for the hospital.

Martina and her friend, Kate Breen, managed to raise £1,000 through their efforts.

And Kevin and his family recently returned to the hospital to thank staff personally and hand over the cheque.
