The second place team was professional dancer Ian Johnson, $14,000 paired with Alma Conn, a North Huron Township Councillor. Third place honours were taken by Bob Morris, professional dancer and Crown Attorney for Goderich, and Rachel Lynn, who is in charge of volunteer services for Victim Services of Huron.

"Many people talked about being sponsors next year, and the dancers showed a definite interest in a repeat per- formance." Dorey said that anyone interested in either being a supporter of the event, or any celebrities that wish to dance, can contact her through Victim Service's website at www. victimservices.cc.

The CKNX Healthcare Heroes Radiothon is reeling up for its eighth annual turn at rid- ing the fundraising airwaves on behalf of 15 area hospital foundations. The 2009" Radio- thon is set to take place on Oct. 17. In 2008, They set their sights on a million, and brought in a collective $935,000 for the participating foundations, slightly more than the $930,000 raised in 2007. "Last year we almost made a million," said central committee vice -chair and AMGH Foundation executive director Heather Glenister. "It would be great to do it this time!" This year, AMGH has targeted its latest hospital foundation capital campaign to ben- efit from their cut of Radiothon proceeds. AMGHs $50,000 Radiothon goal will go directly towards the Keeping Abreast digital mammography capital chmpaign 'recently unveiled by the hospital foundation. Over the last seven years, more than $4.6 million has been raised for the 15 Midwest- ern Ontario hospital foundations. For Goder- ich, and AMGH specifically, that has meant more than $260,000 that has gone towards projects within the facility, as well as the CT Scanner for Huron County campaign. Glenister, who has worked closely with the Radiothon initiative for a number of years, said the experience has been a reward- ing one, though slightly busy at times. "I've been a part of the Radiothon for a long time. Seeing it progress and grow as an event, as well as the cooperation between the foundations has been tremendously reward- ing," she said. "It's not just about the money now. The foundations are becoming, I think, one big healthcare family because of what we've accomplished together. It's exciting to see what could come of that." The one -day event features a call-in do- nation program that goes live -to -air Oct. 17 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Donations can be made to benefit specific hospital foundation projects or the event as a whole by phoning 1-877-227-3486.
