Hello - Adam here and thank you for visiting this page! I am walking with a group across the state to help raise awareness about cancer rates in firefighters We are 7 times more likely to develop cancer as compared to the public due to the nature of the job. I had the honor of working with two great men in the City of St Clair Shores that we had lost inside of a year within the last 2 years. Battalion Chief Shawn Goldie and Driver/Engineer Scott Schwabe. We miss them dearly!
Neighbors United, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is a group volunteers with a goal to make a difference in the lives of families in need, one at a time!
Our largest focus is the #walkfortheRED. In 2019, Joe Warne, a firefighter from Macomb Township, MI and President of Neighbors United had his passion ignited to help those in his own profession. He kept hearing of brothers and sisters that were fighting their cancer and after research, learned that occupational cancer was the leading cause of death for firefighters. That year in June, #walkfortheRED was born.
This September 4-7th we are setting out on our 7th annual Michigan walk! We'd LOVE for you to join us!
