A benefit party for local Modified competitor Todd Ceravolo will be held Saturday at the Groton Elks Club.
Ceravolo was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma cancer in April. He has been battling – positively – to beat it since.
“There is one person alive that supposedly he’s the first cured person,” Ceravolo said last month. “I had met him. My cancer doctor sent him over to talk to me. So when I went back to the cancer doctor he said to me, ‘I’m going to talk about a few treatments, different options.’ I said, ‘Nope, there’s two options we’re going to talk about. One, that if your mother had this disease, what would you give her? And the second one is, whatever that guy had, I would like to have that.’ So he said what he had was very …, it’s a rough road. It’s just very extreme. He told me at my age I shouldn’t have any problems. I said ‘Will it kill me?’ He said ‘Nope.’ So I said, ‘Let’s do it.” And that’s what we did.”
The benefit will be held from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $20 and will be available at the door. The Groton Elks Club is at 700 Shennecossett Rd. in Groton.
