Let's Back Zac: Shropshire set to turn red to raise funds for Broseley youngster - with video
Schools, offices and factories will be wearing red tomorrow to raise funds for a brave boy from Broseley who needs to get to America for specialist treatment.
Thousands of people across the county will be getting involved in Wear Red for Zac in the hopes of raising £500,000 for four-year-old Zac Oliver.
More than 60 schools will be getting involved – including three in the United States and one in Vietnam.
WATCH: Zac's mum Hannah Oliver-Willets explains what the appeal is about:
Supermarkets and other businesses will be getting involved in the campaign as well.
That includes Tesco on the Wrekin Retail Park, which will be turning red on the day.
And on Saturday 40 children will be doing a bag-packing event at both the Wrekin Retail Park and Madeley Tesco shops.
