WARRINGTON safety clothing boss Chris Ross is helping cheeky Granada Reports presenter Paul Crone pile on the pounds for his charity London marathon run tomorrow, Sunday.
It won’t be calories that Chris will be helping with however – for every item of clothing sold at his store JK Ross, he will donate a pound to Croney’s marathon fund for the rest of April.
Croney visited the store on Kerfoot Street in Warrington wearing a specially made massive pound coin to cover his modesty as he bared it all for the North West Charity Wish Upon A Star.
The 45-year-old presenter hopes to complete the 26.2 mile London Marathon on April 13 for the third time and has already raised more than half a million pounds for the charity with TV appeals.
Chris Ross said: “We’re delighted to help Paul try and raise some money for such a worthy cause.”
Croney completed a gruelling training regime to compete in best possible shape.
He added: “This isn’t the first time that Chris and his company have sponsored me for the London Marathon, and they always support me so well. Knowing I’m raising money for charity will keep me going when I hit that infamous wall at 18 miles!”
