Final preparations are underway before the start of the third annual "Gift For The Heart" radiothon for the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore. Staff from CKBW/HANK-FM will be broadcasting live from the regional hospital in Bridgewater to help the foundation reach their fundraising goal of $80,000. This year, money is being raised to buy two new ventilators. Bernadette Jordan says they're critical pieces of equipment.
The broadcast begins at 8am Thursday and goes until 6pm.
