Sue rides for Britton on cycle fundraiser


eyDuncanSmith duncan.smithl@jpress.co.uk Twitter: ©clithadvertiser


Slaidburn resident Sue Schofield (50) isjoining nov­ elist and TV presenter Fern Britton for her latest cycling challenge, helping raise funds for Genesis Research Trust's research into the prevention of miscarriage in pregnancy.


Fern (57) will be cycling 57 miles a day from John O’Groats to Land’s End from May 1st to 2ist,withSuesaddlingupand


joining her for three days. The TV star is hoping to raise at least £57,000 to fund research into the prevention of miscar­ riage in pregnancy. So far, over 70 men and


women, including Sue, have signed up to join her and 24 of those will be cycling the whole route. Sue is hoping to raise £550. A proud Patron of Genesis Research Trust, whoseChair-


man is Professor Robert Win­ ston, Fern said: “This is one of the greatest personal chal­ lenges for me, and possibly you. I am delighted that Sue is


joining me and hope that we can encourage other Ribble' Valley residents to join us as well as provide their support.” Sue said: “I know people


who have been personally af­ fected by miscarriage and still birth. Many of us cannot com­ prehend the desperation and sadness of losing a baby or the life shattering impact that a disabled child has on the fam­ ily. The more money that can be raised for Genesis can help research the causes and cures for conditions that affect the health of women and babies. I’m hoping to raise £550.00 to support this amazing charity”. It is not widely known, but


one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage and between one and two per cent of cou­ ples in the UK may suffer more than once.To sign up to this challenge or to donate, visit: FernBrittonChallenge57.com

L.fnr.vaiir.nldbed??^ M Rosemere’s Newton dinner date Popular baking programme inspires pupils


Two school pupils have raised £210 for Comic Relief through a baking-inspired fund-raiser. A bake sale was the brainwave of nine-year-old Eva Bentley, who wanted to raise money after watching the Great Comic Relief Bake Off. She enlisted the help of her Mend and fellow pupil at Clitheroe’s Edisford Primary School, Harriet Smith (eight). The sale was held at St Paul’s Church, Low Moor, where both girls attend, after a recent Sun­ day service and was well-supported by family, ficiends and the congregation. The girls want to say.a high “Thank You” to everyone who backed their fundraising effort.


A charity dinner held in NewtonVillage Hall served up a treat for Rosemere Cancer Foundation by rais­ ing £650 for its coffers. The three-course dinner, prepared by chefs from Slaidburn’s Hark to Bounty inn, was attended by more than 100 guests, who also enjoyed music from duo “Just”. The evening was or­ ganised by the village hall committee as an annual get-together, which each


year supports a different charity. Chairman of the


committee, John Bennett, said: “We chose to support Rosemere this year as it’s been there for anumber of local people recently.” The money raised includ­ ed a £100 donation from Forbes Solicitors, where Mr Bennett is a partner. He added: “As alocal company,


we try to support charities working within the com­ munity. We therefore want­


ed to help Rosemere in its


efforts to generate funding for projects important to local cancer patients dur­


ing their treatment.” Rosemere Cancer Founda­ tion brings world class can­ cer treatment and services to local cancer patients via its local hospital and works to provide free access to complementary therapies


in patient-friendly sur­ roundings for all those go­ ing through treatment.
