ALMOST £24,000 has been raised by Barnsley author Milly Johnson to help a woman whose two sons were murdered by their father.
Milly penned The Barn on Half Moon Hill to raise money for Claire Throssell, whose sons Jack and Paul, 12 and nine, were killed in a house fire in Penistone which was started by their father.
So far, it has raised £23,833.
Milly said: “I’m very happy with that, but hopefully we can raise a few bob more.
“For as long as this book is in existence, any money made will go to Claire. It is not for her charity, it is for her - to help improve her quality of life.”
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."
