Welcome to our mission-driven community, where we are committed to safeguarding the health and well-being of North America's 1.2 million firefighters. Our goal is to provide these brave individuals with crucial, life-saving information about the importance of cancer screening for early detection. By raising awareness and supporting the funding of essential screening tests, we aim to address their unique health concerns and ensure they receive the care they deserve. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those who protect us every day.
Two days after September 11, 2001, my husband Tom walked through the door, his red hair was now topped in fine, white powder which trailed down his neck and onto his shoulders. "Snowmen" is what the media called the people covered in the pulverized concrete and various debris from the collapsed Twin Towers. Tom was a construction superintendent and working on the roof of an adjacent building when the first plane hit the north tower, he left the area soon after the second plane hit. As he fled, the north tower had begun to collapse, catching him and many others in its thick, cloudy aftermath.
