SECOND ANNUAL FEED THE FIRE




What Is Feed The Fire

Feed the Fire was started in 2014 in the memory of Weston Keeton. 2014
Weston was a 7 year old boy, from TN, who was diagnosed with  congenital heart defect at 9 days old. Later he also suffered Pulmonary Hypertension. The last three years of his life was mostly spent in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Weston was full of life and loved firemen, police, and service members. The local 22 firemen association adopted Weston and his family. Upon his death Weston was honored with a fireman’s funeral. It is our hope that you will help “Feed the Fire” by giving back to your local hero, whether they are firemen, police, EMS, service members, anyone who is your hero. We will be doing this on March 23 2015. Hope to see you there.

How We Did Last Year.


The first annual “Feed the Fire” was a fantastic success. I was blown away by the out pouring of support. People from around the world got together to show their support of their local fire departments. Over 100 fire stations were fed. Lots of smiles and the story of one little boy and his love of helping people was told.

Hopes For This Year!!


This Year I would love to feed twice the number we had last year. I know we can do it. I would love to see more pictures. I would love to see people take this on as project, form teams. We are so grateful for anything you can do to help. Stay tuned for more info at our Facebook page. . Losing Weston is hard but by helping to give back to the people who reached out makes it a little easier. I am, as always in awe of the support we received and thankful for what you do.
