Cicero comes out in force for young man battling leukemia

Town President Larry Dominick and the Town of Cicero Board is proud to have participated in a Birthday Caravan organized by the Make a Wish Foundation on Sunday, January 31, 2021.

The participants met at the Cicero Community Park Ice Rink and drove past the home of a teenager, Favian, 17, on the 3500 block of 54th Avenue who is battling Leukemia.

“It’s always gratifying to see so many people come out to support someone in need and I was proud to be a part of it to show support,” said Town Assessor Emilio “Emo” Cundari.

“The young man is making a courageous fight for good health and we wanted to make sure he knew that everyone in the Town of Cicero and in local government are cheering for him and wishing him blessings.”
