MORE than £6,000 has been raised for Barnsley Hospital Charity by 25 hikers who tackled the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
The 24.5 mile trek takes in Pen-Y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough.
Andy Leppard, digital communications specialist at Barnsley Hospital, was one of the hikers who took part.
He said: “It was an amazing day. It was great to get involved with the charity and spend time with colleagues outside of work while raising money.
“The weather remained good throughout as we explored the stunning countryside and the support we received was great. Hopefully there will be many more joining me in 2018.”
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."
