This year's fundraiser wasn't without challenges, however. The foundation was forced to postpone the 15th annual Radio Day after post-tropical storm Fiona roared through Cape Breton. “Radio Day is our largest fundraising event of the year,” said Paula MacNeil, the foundation’s CEO. “The need to support the littlest Cape Breton patients, and their families, is too great to have cancelled. We are forever grateful for our community partners and the good people of Cape Breton, who were pivotal in supporting our transition to Radio Month and making it a resounding success."
