Firefighters Walk 140 Miles for Cancer Support | Grand Rapids News

Sixty brave firefighters and their families just completed a 140-mile walk across Michigan in four days — all to honor fallen brothers and sisters in uniform and raise funds for those battling cancer on the job. This “Walk for The Red” event directly supports every firefighter who applies, no questions asked. Families like Kristi and Alyssa Growth, walking to honor Alyssa’s late father — a battalion chief lost to pancreatic cancer — are carrying the torch for those still fighting. Eighty-two firefighters have battled cancer this year, with 28 losing their lives — a sobering reminder of the hidden dangers of firefighting. It’s not just a walk — it’s a powerful show of unity, proving that in the fire service, no one walks alone. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
