STRONG teams are being urged to pit their strength and pull a truck -- to bring in cash for Bolton's premature babies.

A giant bid to boost cash for the new parents suit at the neo-natal unit at the Royal Bolton Hospital is being staged at The Reebok Stadium on October 28.

Teams of five will be asked to pull a truck in a sponsored fun event organised by the charity, the Children's Hospitals Appeal Trust.

Other attractions will be at the stadium car park from 11am in a traditional family fun day to be opened by Bolton Wanderers mascot, Lofty the Lion.

Registration is £25 plus a minimum sponsorship of £100 per team.

The children's hospitals charity raises much needed funds to provide vital life saving equipment and services across the region.

A two-bedroomed £155,000 parent suite is being built at the Royal Bolton Hospital to give privacy and space for families who have a baby being nursed in the premature unit.

Those interested in entering the Ryder Challenge Trophy Truck Pull should contact CHAT on 0161 276 8700.
