Such an honor! Hometown Hero Award presented by Long Lewis Shoals

#cancer can take away my ability to speak and to smell, but it can't take away my ability to smile and help others when I am able to.

“Heath is without a doubt a true hero and a cancer survivor as well. He has battled cancer 3 times in the last 6 years. Just a few months ago, he had to have a full laryngectomy to remove the cancer. During this surgery they removed his voice box so he can’t talk and hasn’t been able to eat or drink anything since the surgery. Through all that, he continues to smile and help people. Even while going through radiation, he still helped several families during Christmas by taking them shopping so they could provide presents for their kids.”
