Andrew Brown discovered his passion for running through a family tragedy. His son, Jake, was set for a career as a professional rugby player when he suffered a severe back injury in 2008. Jack Bretherick, Joe Durkin and Peter Hill. Andrew, 42, an assistant manager at Travis Perkins builders‟ merchants in Batley, said: "He had to give it up completely. It was terrible. That inspired me to run for charity and I became addicted to it." Andrew, of Thornhill Edge, Dewsbury, ran the London Marathon last year in aid of Back Care. This year he hopes to beat his record and come in at under three-and-a-half hours. Now he runs 10K races regularly, with his time hovering just over the 40-minute mark. He said: "I completed the Dewsbury 10K in 40 minutes 21 seconds, which is one minute six off my last time. I'm trying to break the 40-minute barrier, which is why I've joined Dewsbury Road Runners." Andrea Woodside in the Liversedge ½ Andrew and family were raising money for the deaf and blind charity Sense at the event on Sunday, wearing distinctive orange wigs. Andrew added: "It was a good event and was well attended. We raised £80 on the day and money is still coming in." To help raise the £1,400 needed for the marathon, Andrew has drummed up some enticing offers. Head coach at Dewsbury Rams, Warren Jowitt, has agreed to donate a signed shirt and season ticket. They will be fundraising at the Dewsbury Rams and Leigh Centurions game in Dewsbury on February 21.
