Firefighter Sarah Fox Cancer Fund

Portsmouth Firefighter Sarah Fox was diagnosed with breast cancer on October 9, 2007. At the time she was also 36 ½ weeks pregnant with twins. Twelve hours after her diagnosis the twins were born making a family of seven. While it wasn’t easy, Sarah fought through the many challenges and treatments that cancer brings and beat the odds returning to work in January 2009.

Just over a year later Sarah developed a pain in her hip which was discovered to be cancer. Sarah, her husband Matt, and their 5 children and extended family are faced with the fight against cancer once again. As a gesture of our support for Sarah and to bring awareness to breast cancer, Portsmouth Fire is going pink.

The pink breast cancer support ribbon has been personalized to show our support of Sarah. The 173 is Sarah’s number affixed on her fire helmet identifying her, the bravest describes how she faces this fight, and support is what we can all do to help. Displaying the decal shows not only that we love and support Sarah but, we support finding a cure for a disease that has devastating consequences.

We hope you can join us by displaying a decal. Two decals are available, a small 2 ¼” helmet decal for $5.00 and another 5” suitable for your car for $10.00. All proceeds go directly to Sarah and her family to help them during this challenging time. If you choose to include a personal note to Sarah we will be sure to get them to her for you.

To purchase a decal stop in at any Portsmouth Fire Station or mail a check with the attached order form to the Portsmouth Firefighters Chartable Association at 170 Court St, Portsmouth, NH 03801and we will send your decals right away.
