Nine’s annual My Room Telethon was held last night in Melbourne, again raising funds for the children’s cancer charity.
Over $3.29m was raised.
The Sunday Footy Show team of Tony Jones, Nathan Brown, Matthew Lloyd, Damian Barrett and Kane Cornes encouraged viewers to dig deep, joined by Lauren Phillips and Clint Stanaway.
Kane Cornes ran live into the studio after finishing a 725-kilometre run from Adelaide to Melbourne.
Earlier in the day Nine News’ presenter won $100,000 on Hot Seat for the My Room charity.
Nine has been a supporter of My Room for 16 years, over the past six years the Telethon has raised more than $10.6 million.
We are simply blown away! ❤️
Thank you to each and every one of you who helped beat last year's record and raise an incredible $3,290,863 for @MyRoomCCC! #9MyRoomTelethon | Watch on @Channel9 pic.twitter.com/fWppGi83Uw

Excellent result for the charity. It’s a shame it wasn’t on in QLD, I would have watched. Watching it live on 9NOW isn’t even an option.
