Rotary on London Radio for 12 hours!
On Saturday the 28th of September 2013 a 12 hour radio marathon to raise awareness about MS was kindly broadcast by The Jumbo Sound radio team from, Goodmayes hospital, London. The radio show had an action packed programme written by Rotarian Kaz Aston to deliver a variety of helpful, educational features along with fun topics for listeners to enjoy on line.
Guests came into the radio studio to chat live on air along with local Deputy Major Mrs Tania Solomon and two past Rotary London district Governors Eve Conway & Clive Amos that gave out lots of useful Rotary headlines to help people find out more about what Rotary offers today. Robert Ghazi and Phil Lester shared exciting updates about Rotary Sport and Kaz Aston even challenged the radio station team to a darts match at the London club venue!
We were also very excited to promote and share helpful information about the Rotary Action group from Australia that raises awareness about MS RAGMSA. Check this out, a very helpful Rotary resource that links with the MS Society in 41 different countries.
The radio set also supported the Redbridge branch of The MS Society. Presenters shared useful information about the local MS Centre and ways that people can help by volunteering or helping raise funds. We were even excited to share that we had gained support from Tesco and KFC!
Special thanks to Steve Newson the expert producer of The Jumbo Sound, for recording all of the exclusive MS adverts, jingles and interviews written and recorded by Kaz Aston. Also, the great station presenters that gave their time and played music from people with MS or that support MS. Rotarian’s even shared some of their tunes to help, we’re proud to report.
Listeners really enjoyed the music and producer Steve Newson even requested to keep tracks to play on The Jumbo Sound play system for the future!
You can still listen to the show online via the Jumbo Sound website. Here is a link to show where you can hear Rotary on the Radio MS Radio PodCast.
Thanks to everyone that helped make the MS radio marathon a huge success and raise awareness about MS on line, through social media and amazing press releases.
