SHREWSBURY, Mass.- A fundraiser has been launched to support Shrewsbury firefighter Mike Penney and his family following surgery that resulted in the amputation of his leg after a sudden and severe illness.

Penney’s wife, Amy, and their three children, ages 1, 5 and 7, are supporting him through his recovery and adjusting to their new circumstances.
Funds raised through the campaign will help support Penney and his family during his ongoing rehabilitation and recovery.
As of September 20, the fundraiser had raised $83,166.59 toward its $100,000 goal.
