For the Kids
Tuesday, January 21st, 2014
As the father of two rad sons (unbiased opinion), who has used its services in the past, the Alberta Children’s Hospital obviously holds a place in my heart. From the off-kilter, brightly coloured design to the unbelievably kind staff, it’s a special place that can take a bit of the edge off being the parent of a sick child.
Every year, Country 105 runs a three-day radiothon to raise money for this essential hospital, airing interviews with kids and parents who have been or are in the hospital, sharing stories that would make Vigo the Carpathian well up (Ghostbusters 2 reference, anyone?). This awesome event raises millions of dollars for equipment to help kids get better faster, and I can’t think of a better cause to support.
I strongly encourage you to visit http://www.kidsradiothon.com/ to donate, or set up your own fundraising team, then tune in for those three days of heartwarming and tearjerking takes from the hospital.
