Chris Wareing (from Apple FM’s Friday Anthems) is cycling 97.3KM on 17th April 2024, all without leaving the site here at Musgrove Park Hospital.
Chris will be located on the Concourse (by M&S Food) at Musgrove Park Hospital cycling on a static bike, supplied by our friends at Turbo Trainer Hire from 9am on Wednesday 17th April and will be cycling 97.3KM. We will be joining him and Love Musgrove there on the day and broadcasting the whole event live as we Cycle Against Cancer.
The money raised will be split equally between 2 great causes. First, we will be raising money for Love Musgrove for The Beacon Centre in order to help fight cancer and aid cancer treatment right here in Taunton Deane. (Heidi, who is training with us here at Apple FM has recently had a breast cancer diagnosis, so it’s a subject very close to us at Apple FM. Heidi is getting the best treatment possible here at Musgrove Park Hospital, but they can only continue to help her and other people into the future with the help and support of people like you). We are also raising money to help fund 97.3 Apple FM and keep your favourite and longest-running community radio station, in Taunton, broadcasting now and into the future.
With a little help from his friends, Chris hopes to reach the 97.3KM target (and maybe beyond), but will only be able to do this with your help.
That’s Cycle Against Cancer in association with Turbo Trainer Hire – raising money for Love
Musgrove for The Beacon Centre and 97.3 Apple FM
97.3 Apple FM is not the new kids on the block, starting as Taunton Hospital Radio Broadcasting Service (T.H.R.) in 1969 and then becoming Apple AM in 2004, we have been broadcasting to the Community of Taunton for 20 years this year and celebrating 55 years of broadcasting in total. In 2015 we were proud to be awarded the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (Now known as The King’s Award For Voluntary Service). This is the highest honour for any organisation and is equivalent to an MBE.
Apple FM continues to broadcast 24 hours a day across Taunton on 97.3FM but can also be found online, via Smart Speaker and has its own dedicated APP
