Show your support for our On Call Firefighter from Newton Aycliffe, Colin Wooster who is taking part in a 216km row on a rowing machine, dressed in full fire kit.
Colin will be joined by Red Watch from Gateshead Victor at Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service where he is also a wholetime firefighter. They will be doing this with the hope of raising money for Oliver's Fight Against Neuroblastoma, The Firefighters Charity and Mind. Oliver is 7 years old, from Sunderland and on the 19th of Feb 2021 Oliver was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk Neuroblastoma. Oliver is currently undergoing frontline treatment at the Royal Victoria infirmary in Newcastle. His family are aiming to raise £260,000 for a vaccine only available abroad, which is designed to reduce the chances of Oliver's cancer returning.
