Today members of the Harrison Fire Department and the Harrison Police Department visited Sean Cadden, the 10 year old son of Town of Newburgh Police Sergeant Pat Cadden, who recently suffered a relapse of Leukemia.

He was originally diagnosed in November of 2010, and after completing three and a half years of treatment, Sean was in complete remission.

In August of 2014 he was diagnosed once again with Leukemia.

Sean has started treatment, which will now include a bone marrow transplant.

Sean is admitted to Maria Fareri Children's Hospital, at the Westchester Medical Center Valhalla, where he will be for about 10 weeks.

Sean would like to decorate his room with patches from Police Departments, SWAT Teams and other Emergency Service Agencies.

Today to help Sean decorate his room we delivered him about 10 different local Department patches. Sean stated that he can't believe that he now has a larger patch collection then his Dad. Sean was so grateful, and this gesture brought such joy to him. We admire his strength and courage while fighting the brave fight.

If you are reading this article and you are part of the Emergency Services please send Sean a patch to fulfill his room decorating wish.
