The Dennis & Callahan Show mourns the loss of Avalanna Routh

The adorable Avalanna Routh, who was diagnosed at 9 months old with a rare brain cancer called AT/RT, passed away on Wednesday morning, September 26th. Listen to Dennis & Callahan react to the extremely sad news. You may remember her from when she joined the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon and proclaimed her love for Justin Bieber (click through for audio and video). In fact, Avalanna had the chance to "marry him" thanks to the Jimmy Fund.

As a result of an aggressive social media campaign, Avalanna was afforded the chance to meet her "husband," Justin Bieber this past year. She joined D&C in studio on Valentine's Day to talk about her special experience. A recap of that day is listed in the links below.

If you would like to make a donation to AT/RT research in memory of Avalanna, visit www.cureatrt.org. Thank you to the outpouring of support from all of our listeners and friends of the Dennis & Callahan Show. Listen to another D&C segment from Wednesday, September 26th as we relay messages from our listeners.
