The radiothon has raised over $4.7 million since it started in 2003.
This year, the money will be put towards purchasing three critical pieces of equipment, including a 4-D ultrasound.
The three day event is taking place at Centre Mall and being broadcast on CJWW, the Bull and COOL-FM.

“This is a fantastic place to be, come down. You get to meet and connect with so many families,” Lynn Redl-Huntington, the communications director for the foundation, said.
“It’s a really great reminder of why we need a children’s hospital here at home.”
One person taking part in the radiothon is this year’s champion child Calla Gross.
