Radio interview



Earlier this week I got an email from one of my cycling buddies, Alex Kerr. He mentioned that he had a friend that worked for Radio Lancashire and that he might be able to get an interview about my challenge organised on a local station. Even though I am completely rubbish behind a microphone I accepted as any coverage of my cause is very much appreciated.
So at 9am Wednesday morning I found myself in a recording booth at High Peak FM. I was being interviewed by journalist Laura Pennington who seemed very professional and understanding of my challenge. We went through a practice at first and I felt comfortable and ready to record. However as soon as she pressed record on the PC I went to pieces, forgot things and got a bit tongue tied. Well that's what it seemed like. Laura said it was fine and that she would edit it to get rid of any mistakes. I hope so!

Anyway just to say. If I forgot to include anyone on my thankyous', please accept my apologies.
Laura has promised to email me with the broadcast date and time and hopefully also send an audio file of the interview. I'll post it as soon as I get anything. Stay tuned!
Thank again to Alex for organising and to Laura and High Peak FM for the opportunity to tell my story across the airwaves.
