NEW YORK — After beating cancer, a veteran FDNY firefighter and Sept. 11 responder donated a van to help other firefighters in need.
Jimmy Martinez was diagnosed with cancer after the Sept. 11 attacks and has been in remission for over a year, reported NBC New York.
Martinez donated the van to the FDNY Family Fire Transport Foundation, which helps firefighters, family members and department personnel who are undergoing medical treatment.
“I’ve had a lot of help and support throughout this,” Martinez said. “Today, I’m happy to pay it forward as this van will help a lot of people.”
