Fireman31 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 The following article came out today and was also on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric........ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29616887/ 7 year old Heather has been battling an illness for almost 2 years. After dozens of tests and traveling as far as Florida to see specialists, Heather was diagnosed with advanced cancer. She had a stomach tumor pushing on several organs, in turn Heather was not expected to survive. I work with both of Heather's parents, and they are great people who would gladly give you the shirt off their back. Heather's father is also a volunteer firefighter a few towns over, and his FD along with my(our) office ran several fundraisers over time in support of her cause. Myself and my fellow employees have been intently following Heather's progress and are so relieved that Heather is going to be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
