A HOUSING association worker's driving ambition to compete in the New York Marathon has been given a £1,000 boost by colleagues at a charity golf day.
Richard Armitage, part of the finance staff at Broadacres, Northallerton, is planning to take part in the event next year to raise cash for the Dreams Come True charity, which helps seriously and terminally ill children.
He has already started raising funds and his efforts were supported by fellow staff who took part in a charity tournament at Romanby Golf Club.
Jan Mazurk, of Broadacres, said: "As Richard was already raising money for Dreams Come True, it seemed appropriate to donate the £1,000 raised from our golf day."
