Max spent his first 97 days in the neonatal intensive care unit. Today, he\u2019s a healthy, energetic 10-year-old thanks to the world-class team at MU Health Care. This radiothon helps ensure that more kids like Max receive the same exceptional care while staying close to home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year marks the 20th anniversary of the radiothon, and we\u2019ve raised more than $4 million to date. Last year alone, our community contributed more than $456,000,\u00a0nearly doubling the previous year\u2019s total. I know we can make an even bigger impact in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The radiothon begins next Thursday, February 19, through Friday, February 20, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day on Y107, Clear 99, 94.3 KAT Country, 93.9 The Eagle and KWOS 950 AM\/104.5 FM.
