This past Sunday, The Whitting Family joined runners from all over Long Island for a great cause: to honor Nicholas Pedone and to raise awareness for Childhood Cancer. September is Childhood Cancer awareness month. To raise awareness, we have placed gold ribbons on our trees lining Glen Cove Avenue. Please join us in placing a ribbon outside your home or consider wearing gold this month. For more information, please visit Nicholas Pedone Foundation: Fight Hard Smile Big or www.fighthardsmilebig.org.
