A group of CFD members, led by Battalion Chief John Winn, traveled out to Adams Run to spend the morning with Captain Richard Ridge, CFD Retired, and his wife Maggie. Captain Ridge has been quite ill and it was great to visit with them. We spent the morning helping them clean their yard to get them ready for the holidays. Around midday, we were treated to our own tailgate party as Assistant Chief Robbie O'Donald and his sons served up a great barbeque lunch to us all.

We are blessed in so many ways to be a part of this community and be a part of the fire department family throughout the Lowcountry. We were a part of the Childhood Cancer Stinks Ride for Clay for the fourth year as our young friend, Clay Dixon, continues to fight the fight against childhood cancer. Clay is an inspiration to us all and his big brother, Jacob, continues to teach us how brotherly love can truly sustain us as he sticks by Clay. Both of them are amazing kids!! We are all better for having them in our lives.
