The 6th Annual Radiothon for Life supporting the St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation turned out to be an outstanding 12 hours.

With only minutes left before the end of the Radiothon, an anonymous donor called in wishing to make a pledge in honour of a family member.

That donation was to match the current total which sat at just over $95,000. As a result, the mind-blowing grand total finished at an unbelievable $191,879.

Becky Conly, Executive Director for the foundation, Hospital CEO Greg Hoffart and the remaining volunteers there for the final moments were blown away by the generosity of local businesses, schools and individual residents.

All the money raised will go towards equipment and services in the Estevan hospital which serves not only the city, but many surrounding towns and rural areas.
