“My husband needed a critical surgery to remove a fast growing tumor in his kidney, but then it was discovered that he has very rare antigens in his blood. If it weren't for the national search conducted by the American Red Cross, he would have never gotten the blood he needed to get that surgery done.”

“Both before and after my kidney surgery, it was the Firefighter Cancer Support Network that was there for me. They provided much needed assistance and let my wife and I know we were not alone. It made all the difference in helping us deal with the trauma we were facing, and it’s something I’ll never forget.”

big enough to encompass September 27 and 28 as well. That’s because the movie industry measures a film’s success and impact by how well it does on its opening weekend: Friday thru Sunday. Please come out to the theater on at least one of those three days (September 26, 27, 28) to enjoy “Fireproof,” an action-packed yet heartwarming story about a Firefighter and the challenges he faces. In so doing, we’ll send a strong message to Hollywood that this movie is long overdue, and that it’s time for more movies like it.
