I LOVE ALLEN GRAHAM!

I love Allen Graham ...so there ...now everyone knows! He is an extraordinary man who spends all his time helping other people. Along with Dr Micheal Stoma they are my two favourite men on the planet and I admire them greatly for their selfless work for the poor, needy and kids in trouble.

Since Luna Radio began it has supported local charities on Mallorca which help people on the island and all over the world. One of the causes we love to help is the Allen Graham Charity 4 Kidz. Allen himself is the first to say that the radio station has helped to raise the profile of the charity and has benefitted the lives of children here on the island and elsewhere. For many years Allen has worked tirelessly to raise funds for abused and abandoned kids and his latest project (which was once just a dream) is to open a ‘Halfway House’ for teenagers. When the children in care reach 18 they have nowhere to go and often have to return to the place where they were rescued from.

Thanks to the efforts of many people enough money has been raised to fund the purchase of a house but more is needed to keep the dream alive. Recently the Amigas Para Siempre visited the island and organised a Beach Tombola. Many local people went along to support the event including Luna’s Laura Penn (pictured with Allen Graham) and thousands more euros went to into the coffers. ALL the money raised goes straight to the kids!

Listen to Luna to hear an interview with Allen and to find out what other fundraisers are planned for the future – like the Charity Cricket match on Sunday November 2! Come and join us for a fun game cricket between the MCC (Mallorca Cricket Club) and the Pirates. It promises to be a great day!
