Roman brings festive sparkle to County Hall
Roman Williams pressed the button
to light up both the Christmas tree
at County Hall and a nearby
roundabout helping to deliver
festive cheer to everyone who
passed by.
Roman, who lives in Fishburn and
attends Sedgefield Primary School,
was born with a rare condition called
pulmonary atresia, which is a
blockage in the blood flow from his
heart to his lungs.
As previously reported in the
Sedgefield News, Roman underwent
a heart transplant in December 2015,
but there were complications with
his kidneys which means he needs
dialysis every night.
Despite these
challenges, he is a cheerful little boy
with a cheeky sense of humour who
loves computer games, Lego and
Newcastle United Football Club.
Roman’s mother, Zoe Pickering,
said: “Roman loves Christmas and
he and his brothers and sister are
very excited about it.
Switching on
the Christmas tree lights was a
wonderful experience for Roman.
We are very proud of him.”
