Logan DeAngelis, 16, was diagnosed a year ago in August with Stage 4 glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor that is usually seen in men over age 50, said his mom, Tina DeAngelis. It is an aggressive cancer and already had spread to his spinal cord when back pain sent him to the doctor.
The family would like to try
some natural treatments that are not covered by insurance, as a
supplement to standard medical treatments.
To help with the cost of the treatments and travel, the Elwood Volunteer Fire Company in Mullica Township, where Logan attended the Middle School, is raising money for him through its annual William Kennedy Memorial Golf Tournament Oct. 11 at Mays Landing Country Club.

The
EVFC splits what it raises each year with a family dealing with serious
medical issues and in the last few years has given away $8,000 to
$10,500 per year, said organizer John Falciano, of Mullica Township.
Logan’s dad, Vince DeAngelis, is a union carpenter with T.N. Ward, of Atlantic City, which is a $1,000 sponsor of the tournament, Falciano said.
