DOING their bit to bit to beat meningitis.
That’s the family and friends of Jackson Hyde, a little Barnsley lad, who battled back after contracting the killer condition.
About 120 people gathered in Locke Park last Sunday to take part in a sponsored toddle to raise awareness of the condition and around £1,200 for the charity Meningitis Now.
Jackson was born in March this year to the delight of his mum Linda, 27, a theatre nurse and dad Nick, 30, an electrician.
But just two weeks after they took him home to Witham Court in Higham, their baby boy fell ill.
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."
