Historic Ryde Society was delighted to welcome Fireman Sam, and local Fire Officer – and Historic Ryde Society Family Member and author of And The Nightingales Sang, Arcade Series Book 3! –  Damon Corr, to the Heritage Centre on Saturday July 27. Fireman Sam was in Ryde to promote the Ryde for Life 2013 project, which involved Isle of Wight firemen turning themselves into hamsters and running in a wheel non-stop for 48 hours. A very emotional Damon welcomed the end of the challenge at 3pm on the following afternoon. The 20 firemen ran 459700 metres and raised £4269.77 for the Wessex Cancer Trust. Brilliant!

HRS was pleased to have been able to help in a very small way, by providing seven collection buckets.
