Jonathan Allsop, from Cotgrave, has won a trip to the Big Apple later this year to run in the New York City Marathon. He was the winner of the Experian Robin Hood Festival of Running Perceptive Informatics Charity Challenge, an event to raise as much money as possible for the four Official Charities; CLIC Sargent, The Fire Fighters Charity, Alzheimer’s Society and Headway – the brain injury association.
Jonathan raised a total of £1,359.14 to win the trip, which includes one place in the New York Marathon along with flights and weekend’s stay in the city for two. The 2008 Charity Challenge, which is annually sponsored by Perceptive Informatics (formerly Clinphone), was open to all runners that raised over £1,000 for the Official Charities, this year they only have to raise £750.
Dee Richardson, CLIC Sargent's Event Fundraising Manager for the North and East Midlands, said: “It is an honour to be one of the Official Charities of this event and we are so grateful to all the runners that choose to support us. Only a small fraction of entrants do though and we would like to encourage more to consider it. If you don’t know who to run for, there are four great causes here that would love your support.”
