DAY TWO OF 7 FOR 7 AT 70 >> Day Two of Chris’ charity walk to raise funds for our station took place today! Today he walked along the Viking Way again but in the other direction from Waddington to the LSST School Lincoln at the bottom of Cross O’Cliff Hill where he used to teach PE when it was called South Park High School. “It was really tough today,” explained Chris. “The walk was very undulating and hilly with a very long and steep climb from the houses on Newark Road back to the top of the ridge on the Viking Way. I covered 7.05 miles in 2hours 12 minutes. Phew!! 2 days down 5 to go!”
Chris is walking 7 miles a day for 7 consecutive days to raise £1036 (103.6FM) for our funds! You might remember that last year Chris, who presents Through Noon with Julie, undertook a sponsored walk challenge which he succeeded but was tough going for him… we’re delighted he’s doing another! Chris has just turned 70, so he’s walking 7 miles a day for 7 consecutive days. Chris will find this very challenging and hopes he inspires your support!
Chris finishes his challenge on Friday 1st August. Again, he’s doing this to raise vital funds for us, LCR FM, your local radio station committed to the community and run entirely by volunteers. As well as presenting two shows a week with Julie, Chris is also one of our directors with the special but challenging task of raising funds. Chris is a vital part of the LCR FM team!
Did you know it costs approximately £1,800 every month for us to keep broadcasting; to pay the rent, licence fees, and day to day overhead costs, and we rely totally on advertising, fundraising and donations. Chris, and the whole LCR FM family would be grateful if you would make a small donation. We are grateful for your support.
Everyone at LCR FM gives their time for free; every presenter you hear to every support volunteer you don’t hear. We are bound together by our love of radio. It takes a lot of work to keep our station on air providing free friendship, support and companionship to our many listeners. Your support means the world to us!
