Matt said he felt exhausted yet euphoric when he crossed the finish line.

Matt Abbey, who works at Berry's Jewellers in Leeds city centre, ran a total of 78.6 miles as part of the company's group-fundraising efforts which will help patients with congenital heart disease and their families.

Matt's marathon challenge took place from November 12-14 and has contributed to a total of more than £23,000 raised for the CHSU by Berry's Jewellers employees across the country.
