³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Lincolnshire is inviting people to shake off the winter blues and join in a 24-hour dance marathon to raise money for this year's ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Children in Need Appeal.

The event, which takes place at The Lawn in Lincoln, starts at 8am on Friday 20 November and is being organised by Radio Lincolnshire and dance organisation Jivefusion.

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Lincolnshire's audiences editor Andy Roche said: "Basically, our event is a 24-hour dance marathon. We'll be broadcasting from it all day, and asking people to be part of it by learning to dance for free, and donating money to Children in Need.

"The aim is simple, to have 24 dancers on the floor for 24 hours while raising money for Children in Need."
