In their second annual mission to raise awareness of cancer among firefighters, retired firefighter Lorenzo Abundiz and the members of Code 3 for a Cure, traveled to 138 fire departments across the United States and Canada. Driving a fire truck provided by the Sutphen Corporation, the group spent 10 weeks speaking with firefighters about the need to get screened for cancer, and collected names of firefighters who had died because of the illness for a memorial ceremony in Hollywood. Join FDNNTV.com's Barbara Brooks at the group's homecoming.
