As many of you have probably seen the Sainsbury's adverts, and the BBC documentary from Riches to Slums, it's that time of year again for digging deep- Red Nose Day.
This year, two radio DJs Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave are doing their bit to raise money for projects in Africa and right here in the UK. They are doing the longest, radio show EVER. They've been on since 6.30am and are set to go through right till tomorow evening (around 19.30). So far they have raised over £200,000 for Comic Relief and are set to continue to raise even more for such a deserving cause.
They've all sorts of exciting things going on to help them stay awake as they work alongside the regular DJs on Radio 1. About an hour ago, Chipmunk was in testing the guys street langauge which made for hilarious listening.
So if you haven't already bought your red nose, visit www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 to see how you can donate or text 'Chris' to 70011. You can also follow their progress and find out what DJs and celebrities have come in with wake up food and presents to keep the team going on Twitter @BBCR1 and @R1MoreMoyles.
So many people go without everyday and on Friday 18th March we can come together to do our bit for those less fortunate and support those kind hearted humble people who do what they can to provide for those who need it most.
You can also check out what is going on in the Radio 1 studio if you press the red button on any BBC Channel.
Night,
Dani =) x
