Today I’m incredibly grateful to be able to say that I’m 9 years cancer free! This anniversary isn’t just about me. It’s a reminder of how quickly our lives can change and how important it is that we take our health seriously.

That’s why Im asking my brother and sister firefighters to do these 5 things. Do it for yourself. Do it for your family. Do it for the people waiting for you to come home.

1. REGISTER WITH THE NATIONAL FIREFIGHTER REGISTRY FOR CANCER
Register with the National Firefighter Registry for Cancer through NIOSH. NFR.CDC.GOV

2. GET YOUR PHYSICAL
Make an appointment with your primary care physician for your annual physical.

3. GET YOUR SKIN CHECKED
