FDNY Firefighter John F. McNamara Foundation

FDNY Firefighter John F. McNamara Foundation John was diagnosed with 9/11 related stage 4 colon cancer in 2006, when his wife was pregnant with Jack.

Jennifer McNamara, Founder & President; Janet Borowski, Executive Vice President, Alyssa Zuckerman, Senior Vice-President, Mark Massa, Senior Vice President for First Responder Affairs, Kathleen Devine, Treasurer, Danielle Genova, Secretary. Despite this devastating diagnosis, his selflessness, his inspiring brilliance, and his contagious humor all remained firm. He co-founded the New York City Fi

His endless sense of duty drove him to do all he could for all those around him, putting the needs and well being of others well before his own.

As has been the fate of so many 9/11 first responders, John lost his battle with cancer in August 2009.
