Brightwake’s Claire Allsop to Run London Marathon to Raise Funds for Action for A-T

Brightwake’s Buying Manager, Claire, has chosen to run the 2027 London Marathon in April to raise money for Action for A-T.

Action for A-T is a fantastic charity that supports vital research in Ataxia Telangiectasia (A‑T), it is a rare, inherited genetic condition, that currently has no known cure.

Claire has worked at Brightwake, a family business, for 17 years alongside the Cotton family and has been inspired to raise money for the charity as Lewis Cotton’s daughter, Emilia, was born with the condition, so the research, that helps to improve quality of life, is a cause close to her heart.

The London Marathon will be a daunting and demanding challenge for Claire. She has only been running for 18 months and, at over 26 miles, this will be twice the distance she has previously managed.

The Brightwake team will be offering Claire all the support we can during the next few months of gruelling training needed to complete the challenge, short of joining in, as she’s the only one crazy enough to attempt it.
