FIREFIGHTERS from blue watch at Warrington fire station are attempting a coast to coast cycle ride in aid of a former colleague.
The seven firefighters are currently in the middle of the ride, which finishes in Newcastle tomorrow. The group is hoping to raise around £3000 for St Rocco's hospice who cared for fellow blue watch member Alan Brent who passed away nearly a year ago.
John Turner, one of those taking part said: "The money donated to St Rocco's hospice will enable it to continue the care and support to cancer patients and their families in and around Warrington."
To make a donation you can log on to justgiving.com/bluewatch or by cheques made payable to St Rocco's Hospice sent to Blue Watch Bike Ride, Warrington Fire Station Winwick Road, WA2 8HH.
