Frankie is honored by the community: The Walk to the Bridge for Frankies Kids
Saturday, September 15, will be a special day for the Loccisano family, who five years ago lost their teenage son, Francesco Loccisano, aka Frankie, to cancer, as they prepare to host an inaugural walk to salute and support children who are fighting against the same disease.
The inspirational Walk to the Bridge for Frankies Kids, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., is calling upon the charitable to participate, during what is the month of pediatric cancer awareness, in honor of Frankie and many other young kids who battle against the illness and strive to survive.
The walk to the Verrazano Bridge will begin at the 69th street Pier in Bay Ridge, with registration taking place prior to the walk, at 8:30 a.m.
