Big Brother-style challenge puts eight in a boat

BEING squashed into a liferaft with seven other people wouldn’t be many young men’s choice of how to spend a weekend.

But one will be following his mother’s footsteps when he joins the novel charity fundraiser this Friday, July 18.

Ian White will be hoping he enjoys the same endurance levels as mother, Sheila, when he clambers into the liferaft for 40 hours next weekend.
