I was in the hospital lobby for the final hours of the radiothon on Saturday and saw the amazing impact that the hospital has on families. Take a look:
I learned so much about the wonderful people highlighted in this story. Here is a little more about Mackenzie and Ollie:
*Mackenzie: There is a fund set up to assist with Mackenzie's transplant related expenses. CLICK HERE to donate! You can also watch all of Mackenzie's video blogs at that link and follow her on her journey! She's a senior in high school now and hopes to attend Notre Dame next fall.

*Ollie: Debi Tibbles wrote a book about her son's journey called "All Aboard! How Ollie Tibbles Became A Train". When Debi asked her son what he wanted to be when he grew up, he said he wanted to be a train:) With the help of Make A Wish Foundation, Ollie Tibbles is now a train! Metra's Engine 401 is nicknamed "Ollie". Watch for it on the tracks!

Eric and Kathy, each year, your radiothon is awesome - you have helped Children's Memorial Hospital more than you can imagine.
These stories are truly inspiring.
Every year I cry listening to these stories. This is such a wonderful cause.
What a great story, and a great amount of money raised. Wonderful cause and thanks for giving us an insight to what the lobby looks like during the 36 hours!
