It was crunch time when 11-year-old Brooke Inglesfield gave up crisps for a year – in the name of charity.

The Huddersfield Grammar School pupil loved her cheese and onion flavoured snacks.

But she was prepared to sacrifice her crisps all in a good cause.

Throughout 2013 Brooke, of Marsh, refused to indulge as she set about collecting cash for the Huddersfield-based Joseph Salmon Trust.

In May came the centre point of Brooke’s fundraising, the 2k Junior Manchester Run.

This week Brooke, who has a twin sister Daisy, and a younger sister Molly, five, handed over a whopping �584 to the charity.

The Joseph Salmon Trust supports parents who have lost a child by providing financial assistance.

Brooke’s mum Nicola, 36, and dad Tim, 39, were proud of their daughter.

“It was all her own idea,” said Nicola. “As a fundraising event it seems a little unusual to give up crisps and run a race but Brooke wanted to do it so we let her go with it.

“Brooke really loves her crisps but she wasn’t addicted so we knew she could do it on her own.

“She ate her last crisp on New Year’s Eve 2012 and didn’t have any until midnight on New Year’s Eve 2013.

“We had bought her all different kinds of cheese and onion crisps – including some new brands that had come out during the year – and cleared the shelves at six local shops.

“She stayed up and waited for the chimes at midnight and then ate crisps constantly for about 15 minutes!”

Brooke, who also kept a diary of her crisp-free year, has now set herself an easier challenge for 2014 – giving up sprouts!
