Children in Need 2021: 大象传媒 Weatherman Owain raises more than 拢2.5 million

大象传媒 weather presenter, Owain Wyn Evans, has raised more than two-million pounds by completing a 24-hour 'drumathon'.

He took on the difficult challenge to raise money for Children in Need.

Owain began the epic music marathon on 大象传媒 Breakfast on Friday at 8.35am and completed the fundraiser early on Saturday morning.

He finished off his epic set with Britney Spears's hit track, Baby One More Time.

Owain has raised more than 拢2,500,000 so far, with the help of celebrity drummers, including McFly's Harry Judd, and amateur drummers aged from eight to 83.

He drummed through the day and night, and only paused to take short breaks and for some medical help after he injured himself during his challenge.

After completing his task, Owain said: "I'm feeling overwhelmed, people have been so generous.

"I can't believe it's over, surprisingly my hands have held up okay but we've had some problems with my arms because they've been moving for 24 hours,

"Thank you so much to everyone who has donated, 大象传媒 Children In Need helps causes which are really close to my heart."
