HEALTH cheque!

That's a kind-hearted Radcliffe company which has donated £5,000 to the Make a Wish Foundation.

The cash comes courtesy of the Health and Diet Company based at the town's Europa Trading Estate.

And this is the third successive year that the Foundation has been chosen to receive all the proceeds from the Body for Life Challenge, book and video.

This is a lifestyle and fitness challenge which is currently sweeping the country.

Colin Cassidy, brand manager for the Health and Diet Company, said; "The Body for Life Challenge is free to enter and is all about educating people in the ways of a healthier lifestyle.

"The challenge takes the form of a 12-week transformation where a before and after photograph along with a written questionnaire is used to judge the improvements made over a timed period."

The Body for Life Challenge is sponsored by the Health and Diet Company's leading brand, EAS.

This brand comprises of a number of quality health and fitness supplements which have been created for those who lead busy and active lives.

As the official nutritional sponsors of Bolton Wanderers, the Radcliffe business handed over the cheque at the Reebok Stadium.

The donation of £5,000 was presented to Julie Amos, regional development executive for the Make a Wish charity and two Make a Wish children.
