Transcript

00:00So Sergio we're down here at Seaburn for the Boxing Day dip, what a beautiful

00:04morning for it. Are you looking forward to the event? We really are. When we

00:07started driving down to the seafront we saw the red sky, we knew it was going to be

00:10our day to day. There's loads and loads of people taking part in this, over 700

00:15have signed up to do it and we're expecting thousands of people to come and

00:19line the promenade and see those people on. They're doing it for so many great

00:22causes, this is for everybody. Every charity out there is welcome to come and

00:26take part which is the most wonderful thing and we're probably expecting

00:30collectively to raise over £40,000 today which will go to the likes of

00:35your cancer charities, your heart charities, hospices as well. There's loads

00:39of people doing it for many many great causes. And it's really gone from

00:43strength to strength since you brought it back post-Covid hasn't it? That's

00:47right, I mean the Sunderland Lions have done an amazing job probably for over

00:5260 years have been going now and when Covid hit it was actually a little bit,

00:57the anticipation was will it start again and they came to us to come and help

01:01them restart the fire and that's what we've done. We bring the roadshow

01:05wherever we go and everybody loves Red Sky Foundation for that because we do

01:10put on a great event.
