Page 8 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – FriDAy, JUnE 6, 2025 Surrounded by trucks and family fun Guy Moley’s Cancer Fighting Angels hosts its Sixth Touch A Truck fundraiser By Joanie Allbee B lessed Sacrament ’s parking lot at 14 Summer St. quickly filled the afternoon with roaring motors, honking horns and family fun. Guy Moley’s Cancer Fighting Angels – which includes Brenda, his wife, Jodi, Alexis, John Melanson, John Gilmore and Darlene Coates – hosted its sixth annual Touch A Truck event last Sunday (June 1) afternoon. “Today’s event was for Breast Cancer Awareness and the National Kidney Foundation because there was no Wakefield Relay for Life this year,” Guy said. Guy’s angels have been involved with “Relay For Life” since his mother, Irene Comeau, passed away with esophageal cancer. The Cancer Fighting Angels have been generously organizing fundraising events for 16-plus years; they aim for two a year. A variety of truck owners warmly welcomed visitors to step inside their vehicles to explore and dream a little. As imaginations ran wild, kids were taking over the drivers’ seats in police cruisers, fire trucks and18-wheeler cabs while smiling parents were snapping photos. The USMC Rescue Boat looked like a Noah’s Ark full of screaming, laughing kids pretending to be adults on duty. Boston Dynamics profoundly demonstrated Spot, the robotic dog. Spot walked over to crowds with the usual canine curiosity behaviors. The kids’ faces lit up at Spot’s personal greetings. Raffles were held and prizes were won while lemonade, games and Country music filled the air.
