PHOENIX – Mac Watson and Larry Gaydos of KTAR News 92.3 FM’s Mac & Gaydos show have egg on their face – well, actually, on their heads.
But it’s for a good cause.
After being called out by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey, the radio hosts took part in the Crack Cancer challenge on Tuesday.
The viral challenge was started as part of Brain Cancer Awareness month by the Willie Strong Foundation, which raises funds to find treatments for pediatric brain cancer.
The challenge is similar to the wildly successful Ice Bucket Challenge that raised money and awareness to fight Lou Gehrig’s disease.

But instead of getting doused with ice water, participants have an egg cracked on their heads.
They then post video of the mess-making to social media, with the #CrackCancer hashtag, and challenge somebody else to take part.
After getting yolked, Mac and Gaydos called out Arizona Cardinals star Larry Fitzgerald, Burns and Gambo of 98.7 FM Arizona’s Sports Station and U.S. Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Martha McSally.
Sinema accepted the challenge on Wednesday.
Challenge accepted. Stay tuned for video 🎥 #crackcancer https://t.co/r61u3YVCUW

On Monday, Ducey was joined in the governor’s office by the families of two young children who died from brain cancer. He took two eggs on the noggin and promoted crackcancer.com.
In addition to the KTAR News personalities, the governor challenged Arizona Diamondbacks President Derrick Hall, KISS FM’s Johnjay and Rich and “The View” co-host Meghan McCain.

The governor also tagged Hope Through Hollis, a nonprofit group that raises money for brain cancer research. It was named for Hollis Doherty, whose family took part in the challenge with Ducey.
Ducey had been challenged by Cardinals President Michael Bidwill.
