Radiothon Fundraiser for DJ Polly Robbins

By PJ Hamel, Health Guide Friday, January 11, 2008


If the world’s problems seem too big for you, too daunting, don’t give up. Small steps will bring you to your destination just as surely as giant strides. None of us will cure breast cancer alone. We don’t need to. All across America – around the world – there are good people, people who want to help. Together, we can make a difference. Together, doing our own tiny parts, we can beat this killer. So that never again will we need to hold a radiothon for a 30-year-old woman listening from her hospital bed, waiting for breast cancer to end her life.

 

Polly's Think Pink Radio-thon raised over $33,000 in 13 hours to benefit cancer research.

 

A Sad Update: Pauline "Polly" Robbins passed away on January 12, 2008. Said Jean Brown, executive director of Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center, "Thanks to all of you for participating and sharing your lives with the community during Polly's radiothon. It was a wonderful testament to Polly's life and the joy she brought to the community. She will be remembered."
