COURT HOUSE — This November police officers across the nation, including those from Cape May County, participated in the No-Shave November Campaign.
According to a release, the goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free and donate the money that is typically spent on shaving and grooming, to educate cancer prevention, save lives and aid those fighting this battle.
The members of the Cape May County Chiefs of Police Association collectively chose to support a local resident and member of the New Jersey Army National Guard, 253rd Transportation Company; Richard Burrows.
In August, Burrows was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor, defined as a grade 3 Alloplastic Oligodendroglioma, which required a craniotomy to remove a 6cm mass, approximately the size of a golf ball from his frontal lobe.
Burrows is required to travel daily to the Perlemen Center in Philadelphia for treatments.
Therefore, the men and women of the law enforcement agencies of Cape May County, and the members of the Cape May County Chiefs of Police Association, presented a check to the Burrows Family for $17,265. Officials in the organizations hope that the funds will help offset the costs of the daily travel expenses of gas, tolls and food while traveling for treatment.
The group also thanked all who donated and supported the No-Shave November program, wherever they are.
They also ask everyone to keep all those battling this disease, including Burrows, in their thoughts and prayers.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
