*************************
The Keep Life Wild Radiothon is back on Bounce 104.1 and Pure Country 106 in support of Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre’s (RVH) Keep Life Wild campaign.

Tune in this Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3, to hear inspiring patient stories and raise funds in support of advanced, world-class care, close to home. Thanks to PureHealth Pharmacy, every dollar donated during the live broadcast will be matched up to $50,000. With a goal of raising $100,000 for RVH patients and their families, every donation counts.

“Events like Radiothon are critical in helping RVH achieve our vision for the future of healthcare,” says Mary-Anne Frith, chair of the Keep Life Wild campaign and vice-chair of the RVH Foundation board of directors. “They’re an opportunity for the community to rally around the health and well-being of our loved ones while supporting the amazing, life-saving work that happens at RVH every day.”

With Simcoe-Muskoka growing faster than any other region in Ontario and healthcare needs changing even faster, RVH must expand to keep pace. Donations made to the Keep Life Wild Radiothon will help RVH grow and enhance specialized care programs that are in high demand like heart, cancer, stroke, trauma, youth mental health and kidney care.

As the Canada Post labour disruption continues, events like the Keep Life Wild Radiothon give community members another way to support RVH while mail delivery is paused. Donations can be made to the Keep Life Wild Radiothon by:

  • Calling 705-720-1991
  • Visiting KeepLifeWild.ca/Radio
  • Stopping by the RVH Foundation office located inside RVH’s main entrance at 201 Georgian Dr., between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

To learn more about how community support through the Keep Life Wild Radiothon helps us all get the advanced, life-saving care we need, close to home, visit KeepLifeWild.ca/Radio.
