For those of you who are in Denver, you may have heard it when you are scanning the radio dial – which is how I stumbled across it a few years back and now tune in every year. The event I am speaking about is the annual 36 Hours for Kids Radiothon put on by Alice 105.9 Denver, which benefits Denver’s children’s hospital. For 36 hours (from 6 AM to 6PM mountain time from February 22 -24) the radio station stops its normal programming to host the radiothon. Over the past 4 years this radiothon has raised more than 4 million dollars and all of it goes directly to children’s hospital. If you tune in you will hear courageous and emotional stories from children and parents about how the hospital has helped them and their families. Sadly, sometimes these stories do not always have a happy ending. As a parent, it’s a hospital that I hope we never have to use, but provides me a lot of comfort knowing that we have one of the best hospitals for children in the country right here in Denver. If you have happy and healthy kids or even if you don’t have any children at, all I encourage you to tune in as it is certain to affect you and your outlook on life. We have donated every year for the past three years and find it very rewarding to know that we are helping children who unfortunately are going through things that no child should ever go through. For those of you in other parts of the country, you can still check it out by visiting Alice’s website and clicking on the Alice in E-land link on the right hand side of the page. You can also donate over the web.
