Newspaper publishers back wizard charity appeal

Cornwall and Devon Media, the publishers of the West Briton, are asking Cornish schools to hold "wizard days" to raise money to build a therapy centre for MS sufferers. Children are being urged to dress up in purple as part of the effort to promote the "Merlin project". The company is also backing a host of fund-raising activities across the county, including a series of sponsored abseilings. (Via West Briton)
