Day 1 of the Equip To Care Radiothon raised $17,000.

That's enough to buy an ECG machine, the Humboldt District Hospital Foundation said in a Facebook post.

They give a big shout out to Humboldt Pharmasave for their $10,000 donation.

They also thank Cory Popoff, Shaun Gardiner, Curtis Strueby, Paul Strueby, Brandon Bieber and Mike Rath, who participated in the 20 kilometre spin challenge, which was hosted by Anytime Fitness.
