fundraiser

Our annual St. Jude Radiothon is an event everyone at the station looks forward to each year because we know it's our chance to raise a ton of cash for an extremely worthwhile cause. The two day event takes place not only on KISS-FM, but our six Townsquare Media sister-stations in Evansville (103GBF, 99.5 WKDQ, 105.3 WJLT, and Newstalk 1280 WGBF-AM), and in Owensboro (92.5 WBKR and Newstalk 1490 WOMI). As happy as we are to put on the radiothon, it's an emotional rollercoaster for many of us who have children of our own and listen to the stories of hope where a child pulls through as well as the stories of heartbreak where a childs illness was too much for them to overcome.

We've all had days where we feel a bit run down for whatever reason. A long day at work, not enough sleep, stress, kids, whatever. For people suffering from Mitochondrial disease, it's a feeling they suffer through every day with consequences that can be life threatening.

A story came up in Kat's news today that caused quite a controversy.  In a middle school in Monticello, Indiana, a student has been reprimanded for wearing a silicone bracelet reading "I Boobies," in support of breast cancer awareness.  The Indiana A.C.L.U. has come to the boy's defense, saying forbidding the boy from wearing it is in violation of his first amendment rights.  What do you think.

Sadly, nearly everyone is affected by some form of cancer in some way. Personally, I've had family members lose their battle with the disease, so I know what it can do not only to the person affected, but there family as well. On the flip side, I also know people who have survived cancer and are leading normal, healthy lives thanks in part to fundraising efforts such as the upcoming Relay for Life at the University of Southern Indiana.

It's been a weird winter so far in the Evansville area. Sixty degree days followed by a twenty degree day and a light dusting of snow followed by a sunny skies and a forty-five degree day. If you've lived in Evansville you're whole life like I have or you've at least lived here for a few years, this type of bipolar season isn't unheard of. It's generally par for the course, but it doesn't make it any easier to get used to. One thing is for sure, it's not swimming weather, unless you're doing it for a good cause.
