I ran a marathon with my brother and raised £5.5K for Wigan and Leigh hospice
In April 2025, Auto Claims Assist accounts manager David Taylor and his brother Andrew ran the 45th London Marathon and raised some serious cash.
Together, the Wigan brothers raised £5,569 for Wigan and Leigh Hospice, which was above their target of £2k each.
Both brothers finished within the top 31% of all London marathon runners; Andrew completed the run in 3 hours and 31 minutes, with David following shortly after at 3 hours and 59 minutes.
They hope to complete the London Marathon again next year and beat these times.
David said: “Wigan and Leigh Hospice plays an important role in the lives of so many local families. This is just the beginning - we’re determined to raise even more next year and continue pushing ourselves, both in fitness and in support of a cause that matters.”
Auto Claims Assist Managing Director Ian Budsworth said: “We’re extremely proud of both David and Andrew’s achievement in the London Marathon. As a company, we do everything we can to support our team members and the wider community.”
Michaela Parry, HR Manager said: “Our team at Auto Claims Assist enjoy taking on new challenges to support good causes, but to also promote health and wellbeing within our culture. David is taking a lead role in encouraging other team members to try new health and wellbeing activities.”
In July of this year, the Auto Claims Assist team will be climbing Snowden for Cancer Research UK, and more information can be found on their fundraising page: https://www.autoclaimsassist.co.uk/resource/fundraising/
