TWO brothers will set off on a sponsored bike ride from London to Paris on September 9 to support Barnsley Hospice.
Robert Cartwright, 30, of St Thomas Road, Redbrook, and his brother, Luke, 26 from Hawthorne Street, Barnsley, have been in intense training for the past 12 weeks to cycle more than 300 miles.
Robert has always been keen to do something for charity and had planned the bike ride for last year but they were unable to book on to the event.
However, scone manufacturers Haywood and Padgett paid the £400 registration fee and even donated £1000 to the hospice.
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."
