The fight against childhood cancer got a big boost this week thanks to a three-day appeal led by Connie and Fish, the morning duo on the Madison radio station WZEE-FM (104.1).
Listeners pledged more than $400,000 during The Cure Kids Cancer Radiothon, greatly exceeding organizers’ expectations. All of the money will go to UW Children’s Hospital.
“It’s just been a phenomenal three days,” said Michael Felber, a public affairs consultant to the hospital. “The way all of south-central Wisconsin responded just blew everyone away.”
