Ken & Colleen’s Kids Radiothon

Bethanie Johnson
Bethanie Johnson

Bethanie’s life has been chaotic to say the very least. When Bethanie was born she was really irritable. Her mother Melissa took her to a variety of doctors but was told that Bethanie was suffering from either a cold virus or something else similar. Instinctually, Melissa knew it was something bigger and eventually took her to the ER to get blood work done. The following day, when the results came back, her blood counts were off and she was diagnosed with leukemia.

Currently, Bethanie comes to the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital on a regular basis for chemotherapy treatments. Her treatments will continue as long as it takes for the leukemia is gone.

From Big Ken, Colleen & Kurt

CMN means one thing to us…helping kids. When a child here at the hospital smiles, it lights up the room, and this Thursday and Friday, we want this hospital to be shining brightly.

We have been doing the radiothon for many years, and it means so much to us that you hear these kids’ stories, you feel the emotions of the parents, and you continue to assist these kids and families.

Helping the CMN directly impacts the quality of life of kids in the hospital, and we thank you so much for your continued support.
