TELETHON IS MAKING A RETURN

During my childhood I was entranced by this program of Kiwi personalities raising money for charity and wondered why it ever got dropped. But next year it makes a heroic return on June 20-21st running for 22 hours (I'm sure the original went for 24-guess we getting soft nowadays).

As a child we got to see their dares, laughter, excitement when the got the raised money past a certain point which is when they would dance around the studio. The show ran annually in the 70's & 80's and most are probably too young to even understand just how 'BIG' a thing is was back then.

Raising $1m was an increadalbe feat in those days and I look forward to its return next year.
