Euclid Firefighter's Local 337 is asking for your help! As you may or may not know, firefighters are stricken with cancer at alarming rates compared to our civilian counterparts. 1 in 3 firefighters will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. That is why Euclid Firefighters Local 337 is participating in the fundraising event known as “Movember”, where many of our members will grow mustaches to raise cancer awareness. We are asking you for help with the fundraising. Please click on the link below and donate any amount to the Firefighter’s Cancer Support Network, a charity that helps firefighters and their families directly in their time of need. We ask that the donation be made in honor of “Euclid Fire”.
Another way to help is by writing to your state representatives in support of Senate Bill 27. This bill creates a presumptive cancer law for fire fighters. Passage of this bill will help firefighters and their families deal with the financial toll when battling these job related cancers. Legislation such as this is already in place in over 40 states, but not Ohio.
