We're tired — but it's a good kind of tired.

After 107 straight hours (yes, Reesha, 107 hours and three minutes), 107.3 KFFM came down with $1,500 toward Team Eli's contribution to Children's Village. That's a good chunk of what we still want to raise for the cause. And if you're doing the math, that's a little over 14 bucks an hour!

We spent four days living in tents behind King's Row during Selah Community Days as a dozen DJs kept it spinning for our cause. We got to meet hundreds of you, took in the fun and food of Community Days — and we didn't even mind that rain that hit Sunday night.

The marathon was on behalf of Eli Berkheimer, whose family wants to pay it forward to Children's Village and the Children's Miracle Network to thank them for all the help they gave Eli in his first weeks of life.

Reesha, John Riggs and I got plenty of help, though. D Rez took some turns at the mike, along with more than half a dozen other guys. We even sat through some country music when Cefus (aka Yakima Mayor Micah Cawley) from 92.9 The Bull took a turn at the DJ table Sunday night. Thanks, man — you got our vote if you're running for anything.

Special shouts to the rest of those DJs, who we hope are home sleeping now:

• DJ Lil Mikey

• DJ Webb

• DJ Dom

• DJ Kool P

• DJ Tiger Drool

• DJ Baby J

• DJ Rob

• DJ Treh Tech

And special thanks to Selah Community Days, Sundance Espresso and King's Row — we love you guys!
