A five-million dollar donation from Don and Adele (uh – DELL) Hall, of Mission Hills, has brought the University of Kansas Cancer Center near its fundraising goal of 61-million dollars. As Kansas Public Radio’s Bryan Thompson reports, it’s part of an effort to win National Cancer Institute designation.
Bryan Thompson has been KPR's Health Reporter since 2000. He's a lifelong Kansan, and a graduate of Wichita State University. He's been involved in radio news longer than he'd care to admit, serving as news director at stations in El Dorado, Liberal, and Salina before joining KPR. He and his wife, Cindy, are the parents of six outstanding children--one of whom now looks down on them from above. In his spare time, Bryan enjoys music and sports.
