Cares For Kids Radiothon


Today (Thursday, May 8th) is the 96.3 Radiothon.
Click here to listen to the interview

Daniel is part of this incredible event this year. We were asked to do a radio interview to share Daniel's amazing story - his journey through a scary diagnosis, and how he is overcoming some hurdles and still struggling in some areas. But with a lot of help and a lot of willpower...he will overcome his "disabilities".

The Radiothon is called "Cares for Kids", and the morning crew from the radio station will be in the South Towers of Beaumont Hospital (Royal Oak) all day to raise monies for Children's Miracle Network for the pediatric programs at Beaumont. The money will help various pediatric programs, purchase equipment and help families that aren't able to afford treatments for their children.

Luckily, we have pretty good insurance and we've been able to get physical, occupational and speech therapy with Daniel for more than two years so far. We are at therapies multiple times a week, so you can imagine that we know a few parents from the waiting room and we have some incredible therapists. I am not just saying this because of the radiothon. Look back in older posts and you will find that I rave about Daniel's therapists. We have been very blessed to get therapists that are the best. Daniel absolutely loves the people who he works with. They brighten his day, and I hope he does the same for their days! :)
