A New York firefighter who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer will fulfill his lifelong wish to attend the Super Bowl, his fire department says.
In a Facebook post Sunday, the Tarrytown Fire Department said the NFL made Bill Duggan’s dream come true with tickets to the big game.
“A couple of weeks ago, he was given earth shattering news that he had terminal brain cancer and only had a brief time to live,” the post reads.
Upon hearing the news, Duggan’s family and friends launched a campaign to fulfill his Super Bowl dream. On Sunday morning, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell walked into the Main Street firehouse in Tarrytown and personally delivered the tickets.
