Marty Breen, gym owner, based at Loup, near Magherafelt, was delighted to hand over a cheque for this amazing amount to Briege Mulholland from the charity, which has attended many emergency incidents in the Mid Ulster area since it was set up.
The 290-mile row was the equivalent of rowing from Malin Head to Mizen Head!
