A sincere Thank You to our OPD for their continued support of The Luna Cares Fund.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month the officers had the opportunity to purchase a pink badge for awareness, prevention, and for some, to honor a loved one who has battled this horrible disease.
💗 Chief Jones wears his pink badge in honor of his loving Aunt, Kathy, who was diagnosed and survived breast cancer.
💖 Lt. Lara Fenning wears her pink badge for her mother, Wanda, who battled breast cancer and became a survivor for many years before passing away to unrelated causes.
💗 Officer Matt Wagers’ Aunt, Linda, was diagnosed in 2020, and after successful treatments, she is on her way to remission.
💖 Officer Anthony Gilbert wears his badge in honor of his Mother, Mary, who is a breast cancer survivor.
Remember that early detection is your best chance of survival, so get your yearly mammograms and self check monthly. Do it for yourself and do it for your family that loves you.
If you are going through your diagnosis or treatments and don’t have family to support you, reach out to friends, or join a support group for the much needed love and care you will need.
The Luna Cares Fund was founded on the principle of providing financial assistance, resources, services, and needed wigs, during your journey to alleviate unnecessary burdens so you can focus on your health and recovery. (And, a readily available hug or words of encouragement) We support All women with cancer in addition to breast cancer. You are not alone as we have helped almost 600 women in our community.
Take a minute to stop and thank an officer of our department for all that they do for the safety, and well being in our community, as it’s well deserved.
