The inspirational athlete walked the grueling distance.
Moreover, speaking to Northern Sound, David said it was a "proud day" for himself, his wife Katie and his family.
Indeed, he says the idea of completing a marathon four years ago would of seemed "crazy". However, this was all possible due to his wife donating her kidney.
Furthermore, the Kingscourt man said while the marathon itself was psychically challenging, it was his mental strength which got him over the finish line.
This week, David spoke to Ronan Gargan.
