Local Heroes Podcast - Special Edition: Ivanna Fundraiser 8-Hour Pod-A-Thon Live and in collaboration with Arrow Strength in Sunderland in aid of raising money for a 4yr old Ivanna, a local girl who needs a heart operation in Boston.  Please donate: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/arrow-ivanna-potts This special edition of the Local Heroes Podcast takes you inside our 8-hour live Pod-A-Thon - a full day of conversations with the real heroes of our local community.  From illustrators and motivators to bakers, restaurateurs, community gardeners, mental health and fitness advocates, and even a surprise cameo from the crew at Gym Possible, it was a celebration of the people who keep Sunderland’s spirit alive. From ice creams that kept us cool, to donuts that kept us going, to pink slice bites that kept the sugar levels high. Oh, and a nostalgic conversation about monkeys blood (aka raspberry sauce) - if you know, you know. The wheels turned. The conversations churned. The energy never dropped. With vibrant storytelling and live illustration from Hannah Graham, and smooth behind-the-scenes production from Flat White Alice and Lottie, the Pod-A-Thon captured the creativity, grit, humour, and heart of our community. Jump in and experience a full day of community spirit, connection, and proper Local Hero energy.
