Ted Tappe

The annual Community Cancer Crush helps people dealing with cancer. One of those people who took on that battle a few years ago was Ted Tappe.

Last Friday night I was in attendance at the Community Cancer Crush event at The Ambiance in Quincy. It is a major fundraiser to assist people who are dealing with cancer and was begun after Luke Tappe lost his father, Ted Tappe to cancer.

Fans of the Blues in the District, your wait is over as Rockin' Jake will take to the stage tonight at 5:30 to perform in the first concert of the summer. The District (formerly known as the Historic Quincy Business District) has put together another great lineup this season.

We all have people we look up to. I admire Luke Tappe. Luke is a great person, and also a fighter. He is fighting for his dad. Luke's father,Ted, has cancer. Some people would wring their hands and say "woe is me." Not Luke. Luke is battling something that is out of his control, but he is doing everything he can to help his dad get better. It is a fight that he plans to win.
