AMARILLO,TEXAS -- If you drive by I-40 and Coulter you may notice someone hanging 200 feet in the air inside a basket.

That someone is KISS-FM's Tommy the Hacker. He says he will be up in that basket as long as it takes to raise $105,000 for the Children's Miracle Network. It's part of their "Kiss Kids" Radiothon, and Hacker says he'll do whatever it takes to make their goal.

"Can't compare what I'm doing to what some of the kids are fighting...cancer, leukemia...a lot of sickness they're fighting you can't compare what I'm doing," said Tommy.

If you were worried about Tommy's safety don't. He has a harness on, as well as plenty of food and water, and he's able to take limited bathroom breaks.

If you would like to donate in the Panhandle Spirit you can text the word "GOOD" to 85944 to give a $10 donation.
