Rewind Radio presenter Richard Woods has completed a 48-hour broadcast marathon raising money for three local charities.

Originally set with a fundraising target of £15,000, the Radiothon raised almost £26,000 thanks to the generosity of local businesses and listeners.
Reflecting on the experience, Richard Woods said: “One word can be used to describe this event – Overwhelming. I’ve been through every emotion, and days later, it still hasn’t sunk in.
“The support of my wife, children, and 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.”
Explaining his motivation for the 48-hour challenge, Richard added, “When your friend prays for cancer as he awaits test results for Huntington’s – knowing deep down he already had the disease – you realise just how vital support is needed.
“Cornwall doesn’t yet have a centre for HD sufferers, and we’re raising funds to change that. We’re also thrilled to support Cornwall Hospice Care and Penhaligon’s Friends, who provide crucial resources for our community.”
Jack Murley, Programme Controller for Cornwall’s Rewind Radio, praised Richard’s dedication, saying, “In all my years in radio, I couldn’t have delivered 48 hours with the same energy and passion Richard did. His drive is a testament to his commitment to helping others.”
The JustGiving link remains open for donations for those who still wish to contribute.

A 10-year-old school pupil has been working with the team at Erewash Sound as part of a communication project.
Olivia Buck was tasked with coming up with a project where she has to communicate information to a group of people.
The project offers a number of challenges that she has to achieve during the academic year. One is to demonstrate taking the lead in communicating information to an audience.
Mum Sarah said she immediately thought of Erewash Sound and saw getting Olivia on-air to broadcast a weather bulletin as a way of not just reaching a few people, such as might be the case in front of her family, her class or even the entire school, but instead, reaching thousands of people.
Sarah approached radio station news editor Ian Perry who said: “I think getting Olivia on air to read the weather forecast would be a great idea and might just impress her fellow pupils alongside what they might be doing, as well as her teachers.”
Mum Sarah said: “Liv is a budding actor and artist and loves everything creative. So the chance to appear on the radio is right up her street.
“Her reaction was that she couldn’t believe that she was going to get the chance to be on the radio and was totally delighted. She has been telling everybody she knows about it.”
To provide some context to the day-time appearance, Olivia will announce who she is, and that she is reading the weather as part of the school project before delivering the local forecast for the area.
When Ian agreed with Sarah’s great idea, she said: “This would be wonderful – thank you!” and as Liv hoped to deliver an Oscar-winning performance, sent in a photo of her in front of some giant Oscar statues adding: “I’m sure that she’d like to be holding a real Oscar one day!”
Ian added: “Erewash Sound is a truly local radio station run by and featuring local people and local voices, and prides itself on the community playing a part in our output, so what better way to demonstrate this than by getting Liv to guest-present a feature within our programme schedule for a short time? We can’t wait to hear her take to the airwaves!.”
