“Fight On Cory Norton”
The story of Cory Norton, a San Bernardino County Fire Fighter diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. Cory was born in raised in Big Bear. Cory always wanted to give back and raise money for research on Epithelioid Sarcoma. He was in his fifth year of fighting this beast, and continued to fight.
Unfortunately Cory passed away this morning surrounded by his family. His family continues to rely on prayer and support that he has so humbly received over the years and they remain forever grateful. It has carried them through the hardest of times and treatments.
Tonight September 15th Cory will be brought home to Big Bear where he was born and raised and where his wife Tawni continues to raise their children. We ask that the community come out and line the streets to support our local hero. Please come out tonight 730-830 for the procession from Big Bear Dam to Division on Big Bear Blvd and show your support. Make signs and bring your flags.
There are a few families that have been touched by this rare and horrid cancer, and unfortunately, for any rare sarcoma there have been only 6 drugs approved for rare cancers since 1978. Many see this as unacceptable. There are so many that have received this diagnosis, and yet…… Minimal research has happened. CC-TDI is an amazing lab in Portland Oregon whose mission is to make all children’s cancers survivable. The family has started a group, who together, have dedicated their time, lives and energy in making a difference.
If you are one who have been touched by, or diagnosed with Epithelioid Sarcoma and would like to get involved, we welcome you to join in supporting research. For those of you who wish to make a difference for so many through prayer or financial support for more research, we humbly ask you to do just that, if it is put on your heart to do so.
