<p>The last few weeks have seen the Sunderland Echo lose two of its best-loved faces.</p> <p>Our former Washington reporter Trevor Hoyland died just after Christmas after battling lung cancer and then digital editor and former SAFC reporter Ian Laws collapsed at home.</p> <p>In memory of them both, I'm going to jump off the Stadium of Light!</p> <p>I'm taking part in a sponsored zip wire challenge in April to raise funds for the SAFC Foundation and St Benedict's Hospice.</p> <p>The Foundation was the charity Ian's family chose for donations after his death, while Trevor spent some time in St Benedict's during his illness, so I can think of no more fitting tribute to them both.</p> <p>I know times are tough and everyone is feeling the pinch, but I hope everyone who knew Trev or Ian will find it in their hearts to donate whatever they can spare.</p> <p>Thank you in advance.</p> <p>PS - I know the page just refers to the Foundation, but proceeds WILL go to both.</p>
