This January/February Check in for Charity is brought to us by Sue. For those of you who don’t know who Sue is, try a Yoga class! Sue’s Uncle, Peter Lavery, was a 17 year veteran of the Newington Police Department when he was fatally shot on the evening of December 30, 2004 while responding a to domestic disturbance call. He was also a Berlin resident for about 25 years.
In 2012, at the young age of 35, Anthony was diagnosed with a rare cancer, Peritoneal Mesothelioma. He successfully underwent surgery and chemotherapy in 2012.
After 5 years in remission, Anthony received the news in April of 2017 that the cancer had returned. Surgical removal was not an option due to the extent of the tumor growth and it was recommended that he look into one of the drug trials that is being researched for this devastating disease.
