Sevenoaks student Anna Louise Walter will host 12-hour radio takeover

A Sevenoaks student will be taking over a radio station for 12 hours to raise money for charity.

Anna Louise Walter presents a drive-time show on CSRfm - Canterbury's student and community station - which usually lasts three hours.

But this month the 21-year-old will host a mammoth show lasting a little over 12 hours.

Miss Walter recently won two awards for Best Female and Best Entertainment show at the Canterbury KiC awards - which celebrate local student talent.

Her 12-hour show will welcome a variety of guests including singer songwriters, a performer in intensive West-End training, a London model and dancer and a BBC actor.

Competitions, games, challenges and stimulating discussions will also take place from 9am to 9pm.

All funds raised from the show will be donated to the Make a Wish Foundation, which grants wishes for children with life-threatening conditions.

Miss Walter attended Hillview School for Girls in Tonbridge before moving to Sixth Form at Mascalls School in Paddock Wood, said: "I've always been a huge fan of the charity and the work it does and I've always wanted to do something to raise money for it.

"You will be able to listen to my interview with Dawn, one of the Wish Granters at Make a Wish during the show. Their work is incredible.

"I love sharing stories, journeys and life experiences so I'll be creating 12 hours of great entertainment - and all for a good cause too. I've never considered myself a runner or an athlete so I haven't even done anything like that to fundraise.

"But when I started University I became heavily involved in the radio station and I thought it would be great to not only do something with the station and raise funds but to test my own radio skills and challenge myself."

Miss Walter will be posting live updates, pictures and videos on social media throughout the 12 hour slot and interacting with listeners.

A range of prizes will be up for grabs and everyone interested can take part in a raffle which will take place on the day.

Listeners can tune into the show, taking place on Friday, September 11, worldwide online at www.CSRFM.com or on FM: 97.4 if local to Canterbury.
