Mother urges
locals to run
for Rose
THE mother of a child with cerebral
palsy is urging locals to take part in
the Great Manchester Run to help
make her wish come true.
Rose Marshall, from Hoole, was
born two months premature
with a rare and chronic lung
disease (Fibrosing Alveolitis)
and needed oxygen support
for five years. The nine-year-
old has the mental age of a
two-year-old and recently
learnt to walk and talk. She
is often admitted to hospital
for her complex condition.
She loves water and music Rose is one of a number of children whose
and her family hopes to give wish could come true thanks to Round Table
her a special experience Children’s Wish and the Great Manchester Run.
through Round Table Children’s
Wish, a charity granting wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses.
Her mother Ursula said: “No-one knows what the prognosis is for Rose, we just don’t
know how badly something like a chest infection would affect her. We hope she’ll live to
adulthood. She is a lovely girl and very positive, having a wish come true would mean the
world to her.
“Choosing to represent Round Table Children’s Wish in the Great Manchester Run will help
make dreams come true for Rose and other very poorly children.
“Rose hasn’t chosen her wish yet but we hope that together with her older sister Lydia we
can take her out for a special day – possibly including a musical.”
The charity is currently arranging wishes for around poorly 10 children living in and around
Manchester. The Bupa Great Manchester Run takes place on 17th May, this year. To take
part for Round Table Children’s Wish or to make a donation, call 01202 514515 or visit www.

HOOLE RANGERS FC
SINCE our last report in the March magazine, Hoole Rangers FC have signed several new
players, and had a couple of quality players return from injury. As a consequence, form and
results have improved, with both teams winning two of the three games played in this period.
The reserves are now sitting more comfortably in the middle of Division Two, and the first team
are much closer to safety in the Premier league.
The reserves only have three further league games, but the first team still have six games to
play; all fixtures are scheduled to be finished by the end April. Three of the outstanding first team
matches are against other teams in the relegation battle, so it promises to be a very interesting
and exciting end to the season. There will be a full round-up of the season in the next magazine
Looking forward, we have an end-of-season presentation evening booked for Friday 8th May at
the Catholic Social Club in Brook Street Chester. At around 9pm, following the presentation of
trophies we will be showcasing two excellent local bands, Hereby Sunday and The Suns. Tickets
(£5) are open to the general public and will be on sale from the beginning of April from club
secretary, see below.
Hoole Rangers Reserves are also looking for a new team manager for 2009/10 season. Full
support will be given to successful candidate, so previous experience is not essential. If you are
interested, please contact club secretary, see below
