A chicken barbeque benefit is planned for Sunday, Oct. 8, at Central Fire Station, located at 87 North Ave. in Owego, starting at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n

Proceeds from the benefit will help two Owego Fire Department families including Nick Wilding, who has been battling stage four tongue cancer and is currently in hospice care; and Doug Worthing, the husband of emergency squad member Shelly Worthing. Doug has been undergoing treatment for injuries sustained from a vehicle accident this summer.<\/p>\n

The chicken barbecue dinner includes a half chicken with two sides, along with a drink for $10 per person. Dinners will be available for purchase until all are sold.<\/p>\n

A firefighter who has served in both Candor and Owego fire departments, Wilding\u2019s cancer diagnosis was confirmed in August of 2016. Tongue cancer, one of several oral cancers, is typically found in the late stage, according to the Oral Cancer Foundation.   <\/p>\n

A patient at Upstate Medical Center in Syracuse, Nick\u2019s journey also took him to Chicago\u2019s Cancer Treatment Center of America. For an update about Nick\u2019s story, visit the page, \u201cNick\u2019s Journey: Stage 4 Oral Cancer,\u201d on Facebook.<\/p>\n

The Owego Pennysaver interviewed Wilding for a story last November. He said at that time that the diagnosis took him by surprise, yet he hoped that by sharing his story it would help others, as well as bring much needed attention to the subject of oral cancer research.<\/p>\n

The Owego Fire Chief, Dan Gavin, commented that the department is reaching out to help Wilding and Worthing and their families, including Wilding\u2019s wife, Christina Shaylor-Wilding, a 911 dispatcher at the Tioga County Sheriff\u2019s office and Shelly Worthing, an active member of the emergency squad for upwards of 20 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cNick has been a devoted member of Hiawatha Engine Company,\u201d Gavin said, adding, \u201cAnd even when he wasn\u2019t feeling well, he still tried his best to train and support others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gavin explained that a committee within the Owego Fire Department planned the benefit and volunteers will host the event. Describing the department as an extended family, Gavin added that the department is always appreciative of the support from the families of their members. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
