With each dollar staying in Saskatchewan, it supports local research improving the lives of people affected by breast cancer.
One of those women is Karen O’Shaughnessy, a Grade 1 teacher at Brunskill School, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2024, at the age of 62.
She shared her story during the 12-hour-long broadcast.
“It’s incredible to see our listeners and community come together to support local breast cancer research year after year,” said Shauna Foster, C95 Morning Show host.
“Moments like today – celebrating survivors like Karen – show exactly why this work matters.”
Donations help women like O’Shaughnessy live healthier lives with their families.
Funds will be used by the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan to support local breast cancer research and help Saskatchewan researchers develop new treatments for those affected each year.
The annual event was started when C95 morning show host Lisa Rendall shared her story after being diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.
Rendall shared her story with a positive attitude and profound sincerity, and gave a platform to others who wished to speak about their own diagnoses.
While Rendall passed away in 2011, her legacy lives on through the annual radiothon.
The Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan is the fundraising partner of the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency.
By keeping funds local, the foundation ensures that contributions directly benefit Saskatchewan residents in meaningful ways.
The radio marathon ran from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Thursday, with hosts Rob Suski and Shauna Foster broadcasting live from Midtown mall.
