| Marty's Hero: Her Husband Vinnie! |
Marty Timpano regards her husband Vinnie as a true
hero. Vinnie served 9 years as a Naval Combat Air Crewman in Vietnam, during
which time he was exposed to ionizing radiation, in addition to chemical compounds presumed by the US government to cause multiple myeloma. Vinnie was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in
January of 2011, but that didn't slow him down; he continued to work in construction during his treatment, and he even returned to work just 3 weeks after receiving a bone marrow transplant.
Her husband’s bravery, determination and resilience following his diagnosis make
him a true hero in Marty’s eyes, and she is happy to support him at the NYC Triathlon.
