Racing in Gris’s


memory MORE than 100 people pounded the streets of Clitheroe raising money in memory of Gris Lee. Gris, former


proprietor of Lee Garter’s, died sud­ denly in March from a bleed that occurred within his brain. He spent most


of the final week of his life in the IGU ward of Manchester’s Hope Hospital where staff sup­ ported his wife, Julie, his close family and friends. The health and


fitness team at Lee Garter’s decided to organ­ ise a 10k charity run in Gris’s memory to raise money to fund new equipment for the intensive care unit at Hope Hospital. Runners regis­


tered at Lee Garter’s before making their way to the start line in Gastle Gate. The route took

also organised for children. All the runners


were sponsored and organisers are now thinking . about making the run an annual fund-raiser. Our photograph

For most people, flu is an unpleasant experience, but for older people and those a t risk from the serious conse­ quences, it can cause serious illnesses such as bronchitis and pneumonia, often leading to hospitalisation and even death.
