Not only does it keep them keep fit, the job has given them the opportunity to raise hundreds of pounds for Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.
The couple, of Wood Farm Close in Leigh, support the hospital by selling raffle tickets to the people they deliver papers to.
Their five-year-old son Christopher died in the hospital in 1958 of a ruptured bowel.
They have been married for 53 years.
