A two-day Radiothon in support of 92.3 the Dock's "Radio for Oncology" project raised more than $32,000 to improve cancer care at Grey Bruce Health Services' Owen Sound Regional Hospital.

"We are thrilled to help make a difference for cancer patients from all across Grey Bruce," said Paul Larche, President of Larche Communications, parent company of 92.3 The Dock.

The Dock broadcast live from the main lobby of the hospital on Wednesday and Thursday between 6 am and 9 pm. Volunteers received hundreds of donations online, dropped off in person or made by telephone. Donations can still be made by visiting www.radioforoncology.com.

This year, Radio for Oncology is helping to purchase three new microscopes and other laboratory equipment used by the hospital's team of five Pathologists to diagnose cancer and other disease. Each day, the Lab produces about 400 biopsy slides for examination under the microscope.

"Thanks to 92.3 The Dock and all their supporters for their generous help," said Lance Thurston, President and CEO of Grey Bruce Health Services.
"Radio for Oncology is only possible because of the generous support of all who donate. Way to go Grey Bruce - this is all because of you!! Thanks to everyone who took the time to donate," said Rebecca Dunphy, General Manager.
