January is Firefighter Cancer Awareness Month, and Aurora Fire Rescue is spreading the word with help from two of their own. We'll introduce you to them and share their courageous battle. Also on this week's show, Aurora's week-long commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior wraps up with our annual wreath-laying ceremony; a huge honor for The People's Building in our Aurora Cultural Arts District; and we'll show you how you and your kids can become Snow Buddies to help patients at Children's Hospital Colorado in Aurora. Those stories and many more this week on Aurora Now.
