ANDERSON, SC (FOX Carolina) - A fund has been setup to benefit an Upstate firefighter who is preparing to undergo surgery as he fights cancer.
Jeff “Bubba” Todd has battled fires in Anderson County since 1993. He worked for the Homeland Park Fire Department before ending up at the Walker McElmoyle FD in Anderson County, where he continues to serve. He also worked with EMS for 16 years.
Now, he is battling a different threat after being diagnosed with penile cancer.
“I’ve chose the life of emergency services and unfortunately you see death pretty regularly, and you think about there’s people that get killed, it’s suddenly,” Todd said. “They don’t get a second chance. Getting diagnosed with cancer, I still got a second chance.”
A fundraiser was help over the weekend to benefit Todd’s family as he prepares to meet with a specialist in Houston, TX on September 5 before having surgery in Greenville on September 25.
Todd said people who could not attend the fundraiser can donate to the “Jeff Todd Benefit Fund” at any United Community First Bank.
