That’s right, the Trek Mate team undertook their biggest challenge to date.
A LIVE 24 hour podcast running from 8pm Saturday night through to 8pm Sunday night.
Why did we do this?
Star Trek has had a huge impact on all of us and has embedded a firm set of morals inside each of us.
And in keeping with Treks philosophies we want to help those in need and less fortunate than ourselves.
So we tried to raise as much money as we can for two very worthy charities, Amnesty International and the Watford General Hospital Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU). You can find out why we have selected our charities here.
It’s over! how can I listen?
