Bay Ridge pols light Times Square gold
Light the night.
Local politicians, activists and families touched by pediatric cancer kicked off Childhood Cancer Awareness Month on Tuesday, September 2 by lighting Times Square gold as part of New Hampshire native Tony Stoddard’s Gold World Project – a worldwide initiative Bay Ridge, Brooklyn has squared in on.
“For the seven kids that die every day from both childhood cancer and the outdated treatments used to treat it, I want to thank Times Square for standing with parents like us who are fighting for better treatments for all the children out there battling this terrible disease,” said Bay Ridge resident Matthew Kabel, whose 21-month-old daughter Sally is currently fighting a rare form of Infant Leukemia.
