Kicking Cancer: Daughter of Rock Hill FD Captain Needs Support

Kicking Cancer with 9-year-old old Brooklyn!- Daughter of Captain Chris Channell

Firefighter Jaime Mathewson of the Rock Hill Fire Department in Rock Hill, South Carolina has enlisted the help of Piedmont ESS and Majestic Fire apparel to build and supply a custom, one of a kind teal, Nomex hood to be sold specifically for the benefit of Brooklyn Channell, the 9 year old daughter of Captain Chris Channell of the Rock Hill Fire Department

Brooklyn ChannellBrooklyn Channell was born with Cleft lip and Palate and has endured several surgeries for both including one conducted recently. The blood work from her last surgery indicated an abnormality and a tumor was discovered on her ovary. 

On Friday June 3rd a CT-Scan was conducted and surgery to remove the tumor and perform a biopsy was scheduled for Monday June 6. The surgery confirmed the worst, that the tumor was in fact cancerous. The ovary was removed and a biopsy of the remaining ovary was taken. A pathology report also indicated cancer in her remaining ovary. 

Brooklyn is scheduled for surgery to remove the remaining ovary and place a porta-cath for chemo treatments this Thursday June 24th. Brooklyn will start chemotherapy in early July as soon as she has a chance to recover from the second cancer surgery. 

Her chemo treatments will consist of a 6 day stay at Levine’s Children’s Hospital and 13 days out on a rotating schedule for 9-12 weeks.
