residents and ex-


V plained there was no point in saving

CLITHEROE athlete Adam Whit­ worth will take up his own personal marathon challenge for Alzheimer’s UK in support of its ongoing re­ search into the disease. Adam (39) of Union Street, Low


Moor, said: “My grandmother has been suffering with this horrible disease for the last 10 years, so it’s a cause very close to my heart. “ I ’ll be happy to know I ’ve at least


done my little bit to fund research that will, hopefully, one day lead to a cure.


“ Training is going really well so


far and I ’m planning a 20-mile run for this weekend, so that should put me well on track for April.” • To donate to Adam’ s spon­ sorship fund, v is it : ■ http://,

RIBBLE Valley runner Roger Grogan has been chosen to represent and raise funds for the East Lancashire Hospice in this year’s London Mara­ thon. In common with charities


and good causes across the country, the hospice is allo­ cated a place in the marathon to use tor fund-raising, and then has to select someone to tackle the 26-mile: run ori its behalf.

the hospice by the his partner Sally’s mum, Margaret Evans, who has helped to raise in ex- cess o f £100,000 in past years by organiang the annual hos­ pice ball.


/ Roger, from Wilpshire, is


'/no stranger to running and has completed many races, includ­ ing a niiiriber of 10k runs, and , last year completed the Pres- ' ton Guild Marathon in four hours 24 minutes on aveiy wet and windy day. _This year he is setting his


himself a personal challenge to complete the London'Mar­ athon on April 21st in four hours. He'has been helped by Blackburn Harriers physio Rob Barton, .who is supporting Roger to ensure he is fit and well for the gruelling hin. . Roger said: “ In my job at


the Peter Jones Enterprise Academy I encourage my stu­ dents to support local chari­


ties. As I grew up rind still live in Wilpshire, I want the money that I raise to go back into the community to look after local people. “1 know the hospice is there


to care for people at what can be a very difficult time and they also provide' support to their families, to,o so I want to raise as much as I can to help. ■ “I have reached over £1,000


; through sponsorship, but would love to get the amount to £2,000 for such a worth- ■ while cause, so I would ask anyone who can help me to support the hospice to spon-


• sor me via my justgiving page at www.justgiving.Com/Roger-


. .Grogan.” Hospice fund-raising man-


' ager Sharon Crymble said: “Roger is doing a tremendous job with both his training and


' raising sponsorship, arid if you can help him to get to his tar­ get o f £2,000 please visit his fimd-raising page and sponsor him. ; “I f you can afford to give £1 that will all add up and help


. us to continue to care for our patients. “We,wish Roger the very


best o f luck and would like to take this opportunity to thank him for taking the time to train and.participate in the


’ marathon to help us raise vital funds that make such a differ­ ence.”
