Richard Mills

⭐ Meet Richard Mills ⭐

Having spent 25 years predominantly in the radio industry, we launched My88 in January 2021 after Vintage FM was sold. Whilst not a resident myself, I have spent the last 13 years working in Penrith and surrounding area supporting local businesses, charities, clubs, sporting teams, networking organisations, council, government, chambers and locals, especially through Covid 19.

As well as My88 I run a consultancy, specialising in sales and customer service, and I am passionate about local business.

So why Cancer Council Stars of Penrith? This is massively outside my comfort zone and extremely confronting. I simply cannot dance. Then no one asks for cancer and cancer sufferers are pushed way outside their comfort zone. I am certain anyone with cancer would swap the hideous disease for just one dance.

Personally, my mother battled cancer most of her short life and my father also died of cancer 5 years ago. So, anything I can do to help raise some much-needed funds has to be a priority. Even if it means being humiliated on a dance floor! Hopefully I can provide a giggle and comic relief in between the real dancers.

Let’s do this!
