We’ll begin our Friday show with a chat about a first time meeting happening in Halifax next month. Oncologist Dr. Robyn MacFarlane will drop by the red table at 6:45 to talk with Crystal about the first-ever bladder cancer patient meeting in the Maritimes. She says these types of gatherings are important for those diagnosed with the disease but it also helps to raise awareness about the warnings signs for this common type of cancer.
Skipping rope is not just a game played in driveways and school yards anymore. It’s a serious sport, especially for a talented group of people from our great city of Halifax.

At 7:45 we’ll introduce you to the face of the Crohns and Colitis Canada fundraising campaign.
