14h agoA bike ride and
online fundraiser in memory of a former Arlington fire captain and
paramedic hopes to raise money to find a cure for cancer.
Jeffrey
Pells, from Poughkeepsie, died from leukemia in January at the age
of 63 after 34 years of
service with the Arlington Fire Department.
His
longtime colleague, Dutchess County EMS Coordinator John Mahoney, is now
dedicating a 100-mile “Team in Training” bike ride in Lake Tahoe in June that he organized to his memory.
He hopes the ride, along with his Facebook fundraiser, will
raise thousands toward finding a cure.
“I would have preferred if we sat here, and he was here to
know that I was doing it. That’s one of the inspirations that I keep
going," said Mahoney.
