"RYAN & SHANNON, the KS95 Morning Show, anchored the live broadcast from the Mall of America telling many courageous stories of hope from families in our community," continued PECK. "One story in particular was the story of ZACH SOBIECH, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, cancer of the bone, at age 14, who is now age 17. Faced with months to live, ZACH turned to music to help say goodbye to friends and family. Through a partnership with KS95, ZACH was able to write and record the song 'Clouds' in a studio with professional musicians."
