A FAMILY duo completed a five-kilometre run on Sunday and raised £1,400 for charity.
Ellie Hawcroft, 15, and her 41-year-old auntie Lynn Moffat, of Buckingham Way, Royston, were inspired to take part in the Race For Life event at Meadowhall after Kenny Halford, Ellie’s grandfather, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May.
The pair completed the run in 32 minutes and will donate the sponsorship money to the Barnsley Hospital Charity.
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."
