Turn Your Radio On!

TODAY! 4:15 PM! KSIV 1320 AM!

Harold Hendrick interviews Run&Walk 4 Life chair Rachael Porter and her husband, Jason. Jason is Pastor of the Fellowship of Weldon Springs. Rachael found us through an internet search and became an energetic volunteer last June, after reading about the Run&Walk event. Rachael and Jason have recently adopted a one year old little girl and are very supportive of our organization. The interview will cover the Run&Walk 4 Life and ThriVe St. Louis and its programs. If you miss the airing, check the About Us/Press section of our website - we'll have the file posted as soon as it is available.

Yesterday on 97.1 FM Talk, Jamie Allman and Crane Durham hosted Alternatives 2 Abortion (A2A) case manager Gail Robinson, A2A client Trish and Trish's son, Gavin for an inspiring and insightful discussion of the impact our pregnancy resource programs can have in the lives of clients. As Crane observed, "It's not about holding a position. It's about following through." You can view a picture of Trish and Gavin with Gail, Jamie and Crane and listen to the interview by clicking here. You'll hear Gavin, too!

NEXT WEEK - Tuesday, May 6, 8:45 a.m. - Allman and Crane host Rachael Porter, Run&Walk event chair on 97.1 FM Talk. Pictures and mp3 file will be on our website as soon as they are available, which is generally by the end of the day of the interview.


We're aggressively marketing tax credits for gifts from $2,500 to $100,000 with personal calls and visits with donors, emails and letters.
