A FORMER Barnsley couple took part in a more extreme ice bucket challenge involving a digger, and managed to raise £500 for the Tiny Hearts Appeal in the process.
Claire and James Singleton, formerly of Wood End Avenue, Cubley, chose to raise money for the appeal because their son Joseph spent three months in the special care baby unit at Barnsley Hospital when he was born at 26 weeks in July 2012.
He had breathing problems and suffered a small bleed on the brain. But because of the expert care he received, he is now doing well.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated December 12. **
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."
