Radio 2 harnesses the nation's favourite stars to raise money for BBC Children In Need
In November, Radio 2's Paddy McGuinness will be taking on the ultimate endurance ride of his life. Our Sunday lunchtime host will be cycling through three nations, starting in Wales, travelling through England and finishing in Scotland, all to help raise money for BBC Children in Need.
He’ll be passing through and stopping off at villages and towns along the way to meet as many Radio 2 listeners as possible as they cheer him on and help him to raise much needed funds that will help make life lighter for children across the UK. The need has never been greater as right now BBC Children in Need is only able to help one in eight of the organisations who ask for money.
Paddy’s Ultra Endurance Cycle will be broadcast live on Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, with video highlights and further coverage on Radio 2’s social media accounts. During the challenge, Radio 2 presenters will be broadcasting their regular shows whilst offering him lots of support, keeping him motivated and spurred on with messages from the listeners. He will also be joined on his arduous journey by a host of surprise guests to help keep him going.
