The North family have also inaugurated a new award at St Philip Howard to be given annually to ‘The Player’s Player’, in memory of the 20-year-old who died in May, 2021.
As well as the money raised for the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, Maxine and John have already raised an impressive total for charity Medical Alert Detection Dogs, which trains canines to detect and alert their owners of impending medical events.
The pair have raised £59,756.51 for the charity, together with Jules Wilks who ran the Farnborough Winter Half Marathon and Ellie Robinson who led a team from Experian around the Nottingham Circular.
