Somers rallies again for cancer-stricken college student

Nice article by Barbara Livingston Nackman in LoHud.com on Thursday reporting on the support of the Somers, NY community for the Monte family as their 20 year-old Hanna Monte deals with treatment for colon cancer. As stated in the story, the Monte family is overwhelmed, but not surprised, by the support. Monte's dad, Christopher, said. "People in this town are just like this. They are not fair-weather friends. ... I can't say how much this has helped us."
