@ny1: After Sept. 11, 2001, Robert Ascolillo spent nine months refueling generators in lower Manhattan. Since then he's been battling a variety of illnesses connected with the toxins he inhaled. He was diagnosed with skin cancer last year. Despite the toll the response efforts took on his health, Robert told NY1's Eric Feldman that he'd "go back and do it again." Watch the full conversation on NY1’s YouTube channel.
Reminder that Republicans tried to block funding for 9/11 victims

Donna summers talked about this before she died of cancer but the media shut her down and tried saying her cancer was from cocaine usage
