Marcus is new face of goats milk
A SPORTS mad Leyland teenager is set to front a national health campaign promoting goats milk.
Marcus Jackson, 15, from Croston Road, Farington Moss, has been selected by the UK's leading goats milk supplier, St Helen's Farm, to feature in its 'Thank Goodness for Goats' campaign, launched to coincide with Food Intolerance Week (January 20 - 24).
As a youngster, Marcus was diagnosed as asthmatic and told he would need inhalers for the rest of his life. Now, however, he represents Lancashire at rugby, having given up a four-year contract at Blackburn Rovers and proud mum Anne believes her son was able to discard the inhalers after switching to drinking goats milk.
Marcus will appear in a range of marketing activity publicising the health benefits of goats milk.
