We Salute You - Marsden Rawsthorn supports Chorley Guardian's campaign
Today the Guardian is
calling on their readers to show their support for soldiers in
Afghanistan by wearing one of their new wristbands.
The
navy blue wristbands carry the name of their 'We Salute You' campaign on
them and they are calling on the people of Chorley and Leyland to wear one with pride.
The
wristbands and customised keyrings are available directly from the
Guardian's office or by sending a SAE to them at their Market Street office.
There is no cost but people are being invited to make a donation, which
will go towards the charity Help for Heroes (H4H), which helps care for
wounded soldiers.
Marsden Rawsthorn were asked by the Guardian to help support the cause by sponsoring the wristbands.
Commercial law specialist Gawen Ryan said: "Marsden Rawsthorn
Solicitors are pleased to be involved in the Chorley and Leyland Guardian's
'We Salute You' campaign to show our support for those from the Chorley
and Leyland area who are suffering as a result of their service.
"Paul
Ridehalgh, a partner in the firm, knows what it is like to lose a
family member in service. His nephew Stephen Wright, (who was from
Leyland), recently lost his life whilst serving in action."
Mr
Ridehalgh added: "Our family are pleased that Marsden Rawsthorn has
chosen to support the Guardian's 'We Salute You' campaign and the efforts of 'Help for Heroes' the charity to which the campaign donates."
Guardian
editor Chris Maguire said: "These wristbands look fantastic and we're
indebted to Marsden Rawsthorn for agreeing to pay for them. "Our 'We Salute You' campaign has really captured the public mood in Chorley and Leyland.
"I
would ask everybody to get get a wristband and wear it with the same
pride our men and women are showing in Afghanistan on a daily basis."
Help
for Heroes (H4H) was founded by Bryn and Emma Parry after a profoundly
moving visit to Selly Oak Hospital in the summer of 2007.
Bryn
and Emma met some extraordinarily brave young people who had been badly
wounded and felt just wanted to do something to help.
