THE great uncle of a Brampton toddler struck down with meningitis has had help from work to fundraise for the hospital that helped save his life.

Andrew Knighton, 42, set about raising money at his work, ASOS in Grimethorpe, after his 17-month-old nephew Coby Knighton was admitted to Sheffield Children's Hospital in April with meningococcal meningitis and septicaemia.

With help from his colleagues at ASOS, Andrew, from Pearson's Crescent, Wombwell, has raised £605 for the children's hospital through a charity raffle.
