| Narrative : |
| Our friends from Code3foracure are stopping this evening in Spokane as a part of their 2009 Mission of honor and hope in the war against all firefighters’ cancer. "Code3foracure.org" are firefighter/cancer survivors both active and retired that were compelled to organize this mission after their own personal battles with cancer and witnessing many of their comrade's die from the terrible disease.
They kicked off on September 14th and departed from Los Angeles in an Engine donated by Sutphen Fire Apparatus and traveled across America into Canada where they were united with Canadian firefighters. They have a crew of 3 on a single fire apparatus to share cancer survivor experiences and bring awareness about early cancer screenings. The link below is the PSA that they developed which we are forwarding out to the media and all fire departments for posting.
The group pulled into Spokane TODAY (November 11th) and available at SFD Station 4 (1515 West 1st Ave).
