Wyatt's Touch A Truck - Newport PD and Tucker Lee - 3-28-25
Newport Patrolman Cody Foster and Communications Specialist Kiara Knight are here with Tucker Lee. Tucker's son Wyatt is 6 years old and battling leukemia. Cody and Kiara talk about how a Facebook post by Tucker asking for first responder badges sparked a conversation between the two at Newport PD and evolved into a statewide effort to organize a touch-a-truck event for (and in honor of) Wyatt. Tucker talks about the struggles their family have faced, how Wyatt loves first responders, how this event is a secret to Wyatt, the love and support DHMC, CHaD, David's House, Willie Para Christmas Program, and the local community have given, how awe inspiring it is for his family to have all the support, and how without the generosity of the local community, he doesn't know how his family would make it. The Touch A Truck event is Saturday April 12 from 2 - 4 PM behind Sugar River Bank, North Main Street in Newport, rain or shine.
