In a Sailor's Words "We cannot thank you enough for your generosity. Cancer makes one feel isolated and alone - the thoughtfulness and time put into the care package (and the respite) brought tears to my eyes. The week long stay at the Jersey shore was relaxing and could not have been better. This experience made me realize there are caring people to help support people like me. It made me feel connected and safe." Michael McCaffrey Click on the image to view a slideshow of the McCaffrey's respite.
Michael McCaffrey, age 34, has been treating for cancer since March 2008. Michael and his wife, Debra, traveled to a donated home in Ocean City, NJ in June 2009. Michael was guest speaker at CFL's 10th Annual Peter R. Bossow, Jr. Memorial Golf Tournament - to view his speech, please click here. CFL Special Events
