About Captain Sisson
Ret. Captain II George L. Sisson dedicated his life to the fire service in the DC area. The discipline and resilience that defined his career stayed with him, even after he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. He faced it the same way he faced everything in life: head-on, with grit, humor, and the support of his fire and rescue family around him.
About FCSN
The Firefighter Cancer Support Network (FCSN) leads the way in cancer prevention education and research. They provide a vital lifeline to firefighters facing a diagnosis. Your participation ensures that other families receive the mentorship and resources George found so valuable during his journey.
