Michigan firefighters’ Walk for the Red raises cancer awareness, support

The "Walk for the Red" is an initiative aimed at raising awareness and financial support for firefighters diagnosed with cancer, following its designation as the leading cause of death among them in 2019. Led by Joe Warne, president of Neighbors United, and Ryan Phipps, a retired firefighter and two-time cancer survivor, the walk seeks to continue its mission across Michigan. The organization focuses on supporting firefighters through awareness campaigns and financial aid, encouraging community involvement to aid these everyday heroes.
