Daredevil stunt aids children’s hospital


by Faiza Afzaal


A DAREDEVIL solicitor has raised a massive £3,500 towards providing vital life-sav­ ing equipment for a children’s


: hospital which helped save her teenage niece’s life.


- Brave Amanda Meadows, a


partner at Houldsworths Solicitors, was catapulted 200 feet through the air in just 1.4 seconds after signing up for the Ejection Seat Reverse Bungee Challenge. . The challenge was aimed at rais- •


ing much-needed funds for the Joe Jafte.Renal.Unit at Pendlebury Children’s Hospital in Manchester, whose medical staff operated on Amanda’s 15-year-old niece, Emma, when she underwent a kid­ ney transplant last year. ■ Officials at the hospital have said


that the amount raised is the high­ est so far from a bungee jump. Amanda was joined by her best


friend, Karen Hall, of Bolton, who she trained with to become a solici­ tor. She says she has been over­ whelmed by the support from peo­ ple who donated generously for the. deserving cause. She commented: “I am delighted


with the amount raised and would like to thank everyone who donat­ ed. ' '• .


“Lots of local businesses spon­


sored me and people came into the office to pledge support. “I really enjoyed the bungee


jump and it was not as bad as I expected.” ,


• Amanda, of Queensway,


Waddington, expressed particular gratitude to members of Clitheroe Round Table, who donated £500 towards the good cause. Mr Chris Longshaw, appeal co­


ordinator at the unit, said: “It is a tremendous effort; It is only through people like Amanda that we can continue to provide desper­ ately needed equipment for chil­ dren at the hospital. “I am pleased to say it is the


highest amount anyone has raised from a bungee jump.” Emma is a pupil at St Augus-. i


tine’s RC High School, Billington. Although she still visits the hospi-


.tal for regular check-ups, she is making great progress since the transplant and is enjoying life as normal. The daughter of Joanne and Frank Romasanta, she plans to train as a solicitor after leaving school, following in the footsteps of her grandfather John Houldsworth and her aunt, Amanda. Our picture shows Amanda with


Emma presenting the cheque to representatives from the Manches­ ter hospital. (S100306/3)

BASHALL - EAV E S ;


Amusing talk The meeting of Bashall: Eaves \VI •was presided over by Mrs Jane Spurgeon.' Guest speaker was


. Mr Phil Bamford (the Magnetic Mis­ sionary, as he joking-


■


■ ly calls himself), who gave a fascinating talk on magnothera- py. He explained how this teclinology was originally used to increase the efficiency of fuel economy in cars and heating appliances and then progressed to provid­ ing relief for an arthritic sheep dog! He told many anec- dotes about the treat-


. mentof domestic and farm animals, in par­ ticular horses. • Mag- notherapy then


■ underwent two years of clinical trials after which it was used to reduce the pain in many human condi­ tions, particularly in osteo-arthritis of the hip and knee, although it does not

Joseph’s Orphanage”


. which is located in Theatre Street, Pre­ ston. Mrs Barton had been fortunate to be ■ given access, by the


■ ‘owner, to the orphan­ age and the complex of buildings around it, which are now'


. empty. The 1872 Victorian Gothic building was erected after Maria Holland, a member of the town’s Roper family, made an endowment


of


£10,000; she had been moved by the- increasingly large number of destitute children in the town, at a time when the population was rapid­ ly expanding with the cotton boom. ’


The orphanage was run by an order of nuns from Holland and at any one time housed 60 girls aged between two and 16.


■ Mrs Barton’s most interesting illustrated talk dealt with the architecture of the buildings, the e.xperi- ence and stories from many residents who had lived there in the period 1914 to 1947 and finally the possi­ ble future for the orig­ inal Grade Two listed building and others adjacent to it.


At the next meeting on March 21st at 7-45 p.m. in St Mary’s Community Centre, the speaker will be Mr Nigel Neill, whose subject will be Whalley Abbey, archeology above and below ground, plus an
