On December 18th, Swisher donated $35,000 to Hope’s wish. On December 19th, a story written by Elizabeth Leeland broke in the Charlotte Observer. By 9:00am that day, Keith Larson of WBT-1110AM in Charlotte picked up on the story and started challenging the community to raise the money. He first spoke to our media spokesperson, Chuck Coira. Chuck suggested that Keith call and talk to Hope’s dad, Stuart. Stuart suggested to Keith that he talk to Hope on his radio show. So he did, and what resulted was one of the most incredible interviews you have ever heard. For days, Keith devoted his entire show to talking about Hope’s wish, and even suggested that we could possibly raise the money before Christmas Eve.
