Chorley family triathlon to pay for operation for cerebral palsy toddlers
Ellie Burns and her parents Nick and Claire Burns, from Chorley, are each completing a leg of their ‘family triathlon’ to fundraise for three-year-old twins, William and Arthur Warner, with cerebral palsy.
The Burns family will complete a sponsored exercise to help the twins, who belong to family friends, Simon and Gaynor Warner, to pay for an operation to allow them to walk before they start school.

Hide AdDad Nick, 46, said: “I have never felt more motivated as the thought of helping improve the life of two such innocent and humble happy children just drives us all on.
“It feels different to donating to a charity as I can see first hand how their lives will be improved.”
Nick is being sponsored to lose as much weight as possible, his wife Claire, 40, is running the 10k Blackpool Illuminations night run and Ellie will be completing a sponsored swim.
“What started off as just Ellie doing her sponsored mile has now turned into 15 of her friends and parents all doing the swim too which is amazing.
“The support has been incredible and very moving.”
