On Saturday 24th March I shall be broadcasting my 25th radio show (The Pleasuredome Pick'n'Mix) on the community radio station, Peterborough FM. To mark the occasion I have compiled a poll of 25 songs that best represent the music styles I play in order create a chart rundown.
As this week also coincides with a number of fundraising activities for Young Epilepsy and the My Purple Pledge campaign, I have decided to link the poll in with raising funds for the charity.
I am personally willing to donate 10p for every voter who takes part in the poll up to a maximum of £25 (250 voters) but I will double it to £50 if we reach 1000 voters. I am also using this opportunity to highlight the Young Epilepsy 'Just Giving' page which will hopefully encourage people to donate to the cause too.
So here's what you have to do...
Please visit the following link to choose your favourite 10 songs on the 25 song list. Then, if you are able to make a donation, please visit the Young Epilepsy Just Giving page and make a contribution to the cause.
There's no obligation to donate as it's all absolutely voluntary but it would be great if you could. Please feel free to circulate the poll and this page among your friends via Twitter, Facebook, email etc so as many people can take part as possible. This way more people will be able to learn about the Young Epilepsy charity and hopefully raise yet more valuable funds. Maybe a business or individual will agree to match my donation once it we reach a certain level - that would be fantastic!
As I said I will be doing the full chart rundown on my Peterborough FM Saturday show which is scheduled to begin at 8:00pm so tune in at www.peterborough.fm and click on the 'listen online' link.
Please vote and please donate - with your support we really can make a difference.

Welcome to Young Epilepsy Peterborough
This is the website for the Peterborough Fundraising Group for the national charity, Young Epilepsy.
Formerly known as The National Centre for Young People with Epilepsy, the Young Epilepsy charity launched its new name on 1 November 2011. The charity supports the 112,000 children and young people under 25 with epilepsy in the UK.
We know there is a huge demand for information and support for parents and professionals and a need to improve access to, and quality of, health and education services. The charity has developed a new range of services since 2008 including our helpline, health information resources, training courses for professionals in health, social care and education and the promotion of good practice in schools. We are now forming a network of parent support groups which we plan to roll out nationally.
The Peterborough Fundraising Group will be organising a series of events and fundraising activities to help raise funds for Young Epilepsy so that it can continue is vital work. Of course, to make these events as successful as possible it is very important we involve the local community so we are looking for volunteers to help us build awareness of the charity's aims.
With your help we really can make a difference so please contact us to find out how you become part of the Peterborough Fundraising Group for Young Epilepsy.
