A Lincoln resident ran and completed a marathon in Berlin in aid of a children’s charity.
Neil Green from Newhaven Drive completed the Berlin Marathon last weekend in a time of 5 hours and 17 minutes.
Neil, who works in E.ON’s marketing department, raised £135 for the company’s charity of the year, NSPCC.
He said: “Running a marathon is a great way to see a new place, and to raise money for good causes.
“I started running marathons when I lost my dad to cancer and over the last 11 years I’ve raised over £50,000 for charity.
“This run has also brought me one step closer to completing ‘The Big Five’ city marathons. I already had New York, Chicago and London under my belt, and now with Berlin completed, I only need to do the Boston Marathon to achieve my goal.”
Suzanne Doxey, Community Relations Manager at E.ON, said: “Neil is one of our most active fundraisers, so we were delighted when he decided to run for our charity of the year, NSPCC.”

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
