A Heybridge dad received a rapid response to his plea for donations for a major new charity.
Tim Wigginton raised £575 for The Ambulance Services Charity (TASC).
The duty locality officer for the East of England Ambulance Service, completed this year’s Virgin Money London Marathon in just over five hours and the money he raised is the single largest donation the charity has received since it launched at the end of March.
The national charity provides advice and support services to both serving and retired ambulance personnel and their families and dependents in times of difficulty.
