Donor Pays For Marine’s Medical Flight To Boston

Laurel Johnson, whose husband Robert died of a brain tumor the day after Christmas last year, knows something about the pain and suffering of cancer. She has contributed the cost of a special medical flight for Jessica Shepard, who is too fragile and ill for a helicopter or a commercial flight.

Johnson says: “If he’d been alive he would have said we’ve got to send money to this family. It’s the kind of thing firefighters do,” she said. Johnson was a captain with the Harwich fire department for 30 years.
