LOCAL organisations raised thousands for charity in a virtual cycling challenge.
They all geared up as part of the one great day event at the Alhambra Centre in Barnsley. Five teams battled it out as part of the five hour long cycling event to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital and local charity Tiny Hearts Foundation, which is part of the Barnsley Hospital Charity.
The event, alongside an additional golf day raised around £3,000 for the two charities and was hosted by Barnsley's own Keith Lemon impersonator, Dean Taylor, whowas even asked for autographs and pictures.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
