London Marathon duo seeking £1,000 charity sponsorship
by Robbie Robinson
A CLITHEROE couple have been offered places in the London Marathon — but have to find over £ 1,000 charity spon sorship for their efforts. Mr Chris Barrow
'and Miss Cheryl Mor ris, who run Onward arid Outward outdoor equipment shop on King Street, have been keen to attempt the race for some time. They received a tele
phone call offering th em ’ t ic k e ts for th e
m a ra th o n from Sir D onald Thompson, D ire c to r General of Friends of War Memo

war memorial structures and gardens, and by doing so preserves the memory of the sacrifice made by earlier genera tions of military person nel, most of whom were very young. ’ Both Mr Barrow and
Miss Morris have a ser vice background and have a deep reverence for that sacrifice. Miss Mor ris’s father and grandfa ther served in the Royal Navy and Mr Barrow was a Royal Navy Phys ical Trainer for 13 years. Miss Morris said: "We
originally wanted to run the London Marathon for either a cancer or ani mal charity. All charity work is good and we real- lyliked the sound of this one." Mr Barrow said: "This
is a moving and different charity to support, not just so we can help the old boys, but to remem ber the young ones who died." They were told by Sir
Donald th a t he had found an Army runner" from Wales and a Royal Air force runner from Scotland, so Mr Barrow was offered the position of the Royal Navy repre sentative from England. The race will be held on Sunday, April 14th. Both have now started

by the parish council. Two members, chairman Coun.
