The MNA has turned red for Zac
The county of Shropshire is turning red today for brave Broseley four-year-old Zac Oliver – and the MNA is support.
Staff across the offices are wearing red clothes and the Shropshire Star has also changed its website’s colour scheme from blue to red for a day – 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 are wearing red today, and are sharing pictures with the #wearredforzac hashtag.
And everybody involved is asked to donate at least £1 towards the total.
How YOU can help:
Anyone who wants to support the fundraising campaign should visit justgiving.com/crowdfunding/zac-oliver
Anyone donating is asked to make sure they post a picture of themselves wearing red on September 28 on Facebook or Twitter with the hastag #wearredforzac
People can also join Zac’s Facebook support page which is called ‘Zachariah’s’s fight against Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia’.
People can also donate using their mobile phone by texting ZACH75 £1 to 70070.
