You can help a local couple with cancer.
The Medfield Neighbor Brigade is asking the community to help a local mom and dad as they each battle cancer. The couple has lost their housing and most of what they own in order to pay for their initial diagnosis, treatment, and care. Two weeks ago, the Medfield Angels/Medfield Neighbor Brigade (a group of more than 500 community volunteers who help their Medfield neighbors in need) received an initial call for help from Medfield Youth Outreach about a family in crisis. Both parents are being treated for cancer simultaneously and, because of their mounting medical needs, they have found themselves without a place to live, a job, or a car to drive.

A convoy of hundreds of police officers left Burlington on Wednesday to visit a young boy with cancer in Virginia.
Did you hit traffic on Route 495 on Wednesday morning? Hundreds of police officers from departments around New England, organized by the Burlington Police Department, left the Burlington Mall early Wednesday morning to caravan hundreds of miles to help make the Christmas wish of young boy battling cancer come true. The boy is Nathan Norman, who, as reported on New Milford Patch, was diagnosed with brain cancer three years ago. Nathan lives with his family in Rustburg, Virginia. Like most little boys, Nathan loves to watch cops, firemen and EMT's speed to calls in shiny cars and trucks —sirens blaring and lights flashing —making no stops as they race to save people. This Christmas, Nathan is calling upon these heroes to make his wish come…
