Firefighter Cancer Support Network

Who knew? And if you did why didn't you share?

Dee (my daughter) went to the Stony Brook Fire Department last night to promote Personal Training Institute and met Tony and Ron. Dee is programmed to promote Strength for Life as well, I asked her to canvass a location to hold a class.

Lo and behold, she finds out about the "Firefighter Cancer Support Network". From my brief conversation with her, she said that many have been stricken with prostate cancer and although their doctor's have advised them to exercise - that is all the direction they have been given. We can help! This morning I quickly sent out an email to Tony and Mike - (the two email addresses I had been given and await an answer).

The Firefighter Cancer Support Network is a 501(c)3 charitable organization

"The Mission of the Firefighter Cancer Support Network is to provide Fire Department members and their families an opportunity to receive assistance when dealing with cancer.

Together we can offer comfort, strength and hope through our own experiences in dealing with the devastating effects of cancer.

Together we can educate Fire Department members regarding the importance of cancer screenings and early detection.

Together we can provide an awareness that cancer does not have to be dealt with alone.

Together we can make a difference."

What a wonderful opportunity for us to be able to give back to those who have put themselves out there for us!


So, if you knew about this - perhaps you know about others that we can contact and assist.
