This afternoon on the Town Common, Burlington Police joined fellow officers from Woburn, Wilmington, Chelmsford, Everett, and Peabody to honor a courageous young boy named Maxwell.

Through the incredible work of Cops for Kids with Cancer, a check for $5,500 was presented to help support Maxwell and his family during his cancer journey.

After the presentation, Maxwell, his three sisters, and other children enjoyed spending time with the officers and even some free ice cream!

Today was a reminder of how much kindness exists in our community. When one of our own is facing a challenge, we step up, come together, and show our support. 💙
