Cause-Driven Events

Athletic events in Alaska often have a purpose. The heart run, the ski for women.  We look at cause-driven events, and why they’re important to the people involved and to the entire community. Host Charles Wohlforth is joined by a bicyclist who lives with diabetes and rides to help raise money to fight the disease, and a runner who got inspired by Leukemia survivors to help get others involved.

HOST:  Charles Wohlforth

GUESTS: 


  • Brenda Bowles, Leukemia Team in Training athlete
  • Michelle Cassano, executive director, American Diabetes Assoc.
  • Anne Kessler, athlete, Tour de Cure and other events
