Early detection saves lives. Thanks to @CityOfBoston Mayor Wu, @DanaFarber, @BFD718CancerFdn, @LOCAL_718, & @UDSHealth, Boston fire fighters will now have access to critical cancer screenings. Partnerships like these are crucial in our effort to combat job-related cancer.

Congratulations to all the runners who participated in the 130th Boston Marathon.

The fight against Firefighter Cancer requires leaders and allies. No stronger leader in the fight than Dan Ranahan & @BFD718CancerFdn & a true ally in @nickcollinsma Senator Collins fought to secure essential funding for our Members fighting for their lives.

Today we pay of final respects, as we honor the life of Firefighter Mathew Troy of Engine 10. May he rest in peace, and will never be forgotten.

Thank you so much @NESN and @RedSox for spreading awareness to our cause!

Mat Troy, a Boston firefighter, was diagnosed with the illness in September of 2022, but his positive attitude never changed, even during his final weeks in the hospital. on.nbcboston.com/dfzEUbu
