THE SECOND annual fun run in memory of two boys who were killed in a house fire started by their father has raised at least £3,000 for a children’s burns unit.
Jack and Paul’s fun run was held last Sunday at Penistone bowling ground, with 240 runners - double the number from last year.
The brothers, aged 12 and nine, died in October 2014 when their father Darren Sykes set fire to the former family home in Tennyson Close, Penistone. He also died.
The boy’s mother Claire Throssell, 45, performed the countdown to start of the one mile run, and handed out medals to finishers.
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."
