Today I wrote a story about Anthony Mabery, who is battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia. A former Ansonia and Bridgeport resident, he now lives in Greenville, N.C.
From what his grandfather and his aunt have told me, Anthony understands the true spirit of Christmas.
He joined others in an organization called Riley's Army to serve Christmas dinner to patients and their families in the hospital, the same hospital where he had been a patient a few days earlier.

Hilltop Hose Company 5 in Ansonia held a bone marrow drive Saturday for Anthony and all those who suffer from blood diseases.
Anthony is clearly a remarkable and resilient young boy. I wish him and his family a Happy and Healthy New Year.
