The Chronicle backs the Oldham Christie Appeal
FORMER Hulme Grammar School pals Justin Nolan and James Wild are poised to tackle a tough three peaks challenge to boost the Christie’s at Oldham appeal.
Justin (27), James and 10 of their friends will leave for Scotland today, ready to start the feat which will involve them scaling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowden in just 24 hours.
Justin, who lives in Moorside, accepted the challenge from James, who lives in Rochdale and wanted to “do something different and raise money for charity” at the same time.
Justin, who works at engineering firm Middleton Sheet Metal, urged people who know he and James to sponsor them for a worthy cause.
They have already been promised more than £750 towards their £1,000 target. Anyone who would like to make a contribution can do so through www.justgiving.com/3peakschallengechristies
