All Sides with Ann Fisher - 11:00 AM - Wellness Wednesday: Minority Donors, Pelotonia, Childhood Cancer
African Americans make up 13% of the US population but 30% of the people waiting for organ transplants. This hour we'll discuss why the need for minority donors is so great. And some OSU scientists are fighting cancer one mile at a time. We'll hear about their medical and bicycle training. Plus we'll look at a new piece of the childhood cancer puzzle.

Taylor Brooks, undergraduate Pelotonia research fellow
