TO THE EDITOR:
On Wednesday, Oct. 7 at noon, everyone in Orange County (including Chapel Hill) has been invited to stop for a moment and join in prayer for Superior Court Judge Carl Fox.
Judge Fox is undergoing a courageous battle with blood cancer. He is using his personal battle to encourage thousands to add their “DNA swab” to the bone marrow donor registry. He will no doubt help countless others.
Unable to find a bone marrow donor, Judge Fox underwent a cord blood transplant last week and now faces a challenging road to recovery.
As Judge Fox is such a beloved jurist, friend and neighbor, thousands will stop on Wednesday to pray for his condition.
The place, venue or form doesn’t matter. It could be a classroom, a car, a dorm room or on the street. You can light a candle, ring a bell or just be still — whatever you prefer as your favorite form of prayer.
Given Judge Fox’s unwavering commitment to the community — including how he used his own illness to raise awareness for countless others — people are invited to include their own loved ones in their prayers.
At noon on Wednesday, WCHL Chapelboro (97.9 FM, 1360 AM) will signal the start of the prayer for the entire community.
