Cornwall’s Rewind Radio is thrilled to announce the launch of their ‘Radiothon 2024’; a non-stop, 48-hour live radio extravaganza to support three local charities.
It will be hosted by Richard Woods (Presenter and Managing Director) with a variety of special guests and will run from 08:00 on 31st October.
The two-day live broadcast will raise funds and awareness for HD Livin’ – a Plymouth-based charity that supports those affected by Huntington’s Disease in Cornwall and the South-West, Cornwall Hospice Care - who provide compassionate end of life care and support, and Penhaligon's Friends - who support local children who have experienced close family bereavement.
It’s the second time that the local radio station has taken on the Radiothon challenge, with Richard and the team hoping to build on the incredible success of last year. Raising more than £9,000 for charity in 2023, Cornwall's Rewind Radio and are taking on the challenge to raise a target of £15,000 this year.
Richard has a personal connection to the cause, as a member of the Cornwall’s Rewind Radio team has recently been diagnosed with Huntington's Disease.
‘Sadly, there are very few services available for those in Cornwall who have HD’, Richard says.
‘Through this Radiothon, we hope to bring attention to that lack of support and create resources for those in need, including my very dear friend.’
Radiothon 2024 is proudly sponsored by Carers Break and Focus Technology.
