40 Hours. One Cause. One Big Difference.
Calypso Radio’s 40-Hr Live Marathon in Aid of Puttinu Cares
Saturday, 17 October at 4:00 AM – Sunday, 18 October at 8:00 PM
📍 Calypso Radio Studios, Luqa
40 hours non-stop
This October, Calypso Radio is going live for 40 hours non-stop in aid of Puttinu Cares.
Station Manager and presenter Gordon Pace will take on the 40-hour challenge, extending last year’s marathon by another 5 hours, all to raise funds and support the important work of Puttinu Cares.
Listeners are invited to join us at the studio, tune in throughout the marathon and, most importantly, help us raise as much as possible for this important cause.
Our Goal
This year, our fundraising efforts will support Puttinu Cares’ next project: building a chapel next to the Puttinu Cares apartments in Central London, UK.
The chapel will provide a dedicated place of prayer, peace and reflection for patients and their families who are staying at the apartments while receiving treatment abroad.
Our aim is to raise funds to build this chapel.
Every donation, big or small, can make a difference.
