Old Millstone pub celebrate their latest fundraising challenge

Regulars at the Old Millstone pub held a special thank you party to celebrate their latest fundraising challenge.

A seven-strong group, including landlady Eli Feney, climbed Ben Nevis raising almost £2,500 for East Cheshire Hospice.

Eli took part in memory of her mum Susan Humphries who died six years ago, aged 63.

It was a poignant trip for Amy Done whose great grandad was cared for by the Hospice.

Brian Izzard and daughter Jodi also made the journey, along with Emma McFadden, Adam Harrison and Anne Marie Rochford, all of them supporting the same cause.

Barmaid Lizzie Fieldson raised more funds by riding a static bike inside the pub, her bad knees ruling her out of the trip.

Eli said: “We do so much for charity that we’ve become a community hub. We help the organisation Giving Train which gives back to those in need.

“We also raise money for lots of other things and later this year we’re climbing Scafell.

“I climbed Snowdon a couple of years ago and that was much easier compared to Ben Nevis.

“I spent many months in a Hospice when I lost my mum to cancer. Hospice care isn’t just about helping people die with dignity, it’s about helping them live out life with love.

“We held a party to thank everyone who always backs me for every event.”
