The daughter of a Bethel Police Detective is now cancer free.  Maddie O'Farrell was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, but after extensive treatments, including multiple surgeries and chemotherapy, the now-14 year old is cancer free.  Bethel Police say intensive therapy, a tenacious attitude, and the love of those around her help Maddie make incredible strides. 

To show continued support of Circle of Care, a virtual 5k will be held on May 1st and 2nd to raise funds for families whose children have been diagnosed with cancer. As an ambassador for Circle of Care, and their 2021 5k Champion, Maddie is leading a team.
