WEO T-Shirts

Several Firefighters led by Richard Lipes have gotten together and created a T-shirt to sell in order to raise money for Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma research. William "Billy" Obenchain, the Northside C-shift Battalion Chief and possibly the most respected firefighter in Roanoke, suffers from this disease. Chief Obenchain has been battling this disease for several years now and is currently being hospitalized due to complications. The shirt features a poem written by Chief Obenchain at a live burn exercise. The t-shirts are being sold for $15 and the profit will be sent to the Duke University Cancer Research Department specifically for this type of cancer. Please contact Richard Lipes by email to order your shirt at Rlipes@msn.com.

I would encourage everyone to buy a shirt. Billy is by far the most respected chief officer in this department he is also the most respected firefighter. His battle and dedication to the job is amazing. Say a prayer and buy a shirt.
