3. The Story of Search and Rescue worker Brendan Woodhouse - a podcast by Jaz OHara

This week my guest is real-life-superhero Brendan Woodhouse, a firefighter and father of two from Nottingham. 

We talk about his journey from normal life in the UK, to saving lives in the Mediterranean Sea. 

It all started when he saw a Facebook post I wrote about the Calais Jungle Refugee Camp back in 2015, which prompted him to start collecting donations and driving over to Calais himself. 

Before long, Brendan headed out to the Greek Island of Lesvos following news reports of thousands of people arriving to it’s shores seeking asylum.

There, he began working in Search and Rescue, helping boats safely to land.

The last four years have taken Brendan on a life-changing journey, which he shares with you today. I hope it resonates with you as much as it did me… his story about the baby will stay with me forever….
