The owner of Lancaster’s Hodgson’s chippy completed the London Marathon in a personal best time at the weekend, raising more than £8,000 for charity in the process.

Nigel Hodgson took four hours and five minutes to complete the 26.2 miles on Sunday, and has so far raised £8,382.

He said: "Well, that's the London Marathon ticked off. Ran it with a personal best of 4 hours and 5 mins too.

"It was a great event and very well organised - despite taking the wrong tube twice!

"I have raised £8,382 so far, which is very pleasing."

Nigel said he decided to support Children with Cancer UK, with an aim of raising £10,000, to mark the Prospect Street takeaway's 25th year in business.

"Their vision is a world where every child survives cancer - which is why we are so keen to support them,” he said.

Nigel will also take part in the Great North Run in September.
