For most of the day we changed our website's colour scheme from blue to red - all in support of Zac.

The youngster, who has an extremely rare form of childhood leukaemia, called Near Haploid, needs to travel to Philadelphia in the U.S. for specialist CAR-T therapy currently unavailable on the NHS.

His family are trying to raise the £500,000 needed for the treatment, and so far the response has been fantastic.

Schools, businesses and shops were wearing red today, and sharing pictures with the #wearredforzac hashtag.

And everybody involved is asked to donate at least £1 towards the total.
