Salt Lake City, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/27/2021 --For many kids, ringing bells mean the start of school. For 7-year-old Kadee Lott, it also meant the start of new life — without cancer treatments.

In 2019, the Pocatello girl rang the bell outside the cancer unit at Intermountain Primary Children's Hospital, signaling an end to her treatments for B-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma.

Kadee was diagnosed with cancer at age 3, when bumps, tender to the touch, appeared on her arms. Her bell-ringing celebration at the end of cancer treatments came just in time for her to start kindergarten, thanks to Primary Children's expert care and the support of her community.

"Now, Kadee is in the second grade and loving it. She loves her teacher and making new friends. She has the sweetest heart and loves to make everyone happy," said her mom, Anjillee Lott. "She's the happy young girl she is today, thanks in part to our generous community."

On Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 28 and 29, area residents are invited to tune into the Rich Broadcasting Idaho Radiothon for Primary Children's Hospital and give to help children like Kadee. Each donation helps patients and families needing the life-changing care that Primary Children's Hospital provides.

"Every donation is a blessing to a child needing care," Anjillee Lott said. "We are so grateful for the kindness of friends, family and even strangers, who continue to give to Primary Children's during the Idaho Radiothon to help children like Kadee. For your continued support, we thank you."

Kadee and other Idaho children and families receiving care at Primary Children's Hospital will be featured during the Rich Broadcasting radiothon, which airs Tuesday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Wednesday from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tune into KID News Radio 590 AM and 92.1 and 106.3 FM; 96.1 and 102.1 The Wolf; Star 98; and 94.9 and 104.5 The Pick.
