Hero Helpers of America & Waxy O'Connors team up again in support of Foxborough's Danny Nickerson This Thursday

Foxboro, MA (July 21, 2014) – This Thursday Waxy O’Connors Restaurant in Foxboro, MA and Hero Helpers of America are hosting another fundraiser for Danny Nickerson, a Foxboro, MA resident on Thursday July 24 from 4pm-7pm at Waxy O’Connors at 121 Main St, Foxboro, MA. Danny was diagnosed with DIPG, a rare form of a brain tumor that is inoperable. Less than 10% of patients diagnosed with DIPG survive past 18 months of diagnosis. On Thursday (7/24) The Duo has paired up to help grant the Foxboro Boys wish of birthday cards. Hero Helpers of America & Waxys are inviting everybody to come to Waxy’s and not only make birthday cards for Danny, but also have a free dinner of chicken fingers, French fries, and ice cream! They are asking the public to help spread the word, in hopes to hopefully have hundreds of cards made for Danny at the conclusion of the event on Thursday evening. The world has their attention on Danny as his sixth birthday is on Friday. Danny has asked, at first the Foxboro community to send him birthday cards, and the entire country has taken on Dannys Request. In May Hero Helpers of America & Waxy O’Connors teamed up to throw Danny’s first ever “Dannys Family Fun Day” Dozens of trucks, including 5 fire trucks, police cards, dump trucks, military HUMVEEs and more were on display, along with bouncy houses, and special appearances from Boston’s Finest cast, The Wahlburgs, and Joe Andruzzi. Over 4,000 locals came out in support of Danny.
