Thank you to Richard and the team at Cornwall's Rewind Radio for raising an incredible £6529.66 in support of our hospices with an inspiring 48 hour Radiothon! “One word can be used to describe this event and the generosity of Cornwall – Overwhelming. I went through every emotion, and weeks later, it still hasn’t sunk in. The support of my wife, children, family, the entire team at Cornwall’s Rewind Radio, Shane Solomon from Corker Media who streamed the event, every business who sponsored the event or donated to the auction and raffle, and listeners who supported us is something I can never thank enough for. We’re thrilled to have been able to support HD Livin', Cornwall Hospice Care and Penhaligon’s Friends, who provide crucial resources for our community.” - Richard Woods, MD of Cornwall's Rewind Radio.
