This FBI has brought back two high-value targets from Nigeria to the United States to face justice for alleged sextortion crimes targeting minors.

He wore 75 pounds of firefighting gear for a 5K. Here’s why. It served two purposes: raising awareness about the cancer risks firefighters face and recognizing the strain on families supporting a loved one with the disease. Both hit home for Slater, whose partner, Janette Kerry, has been living with cancer for nearly three years.

“There’s a lot of weight that’s carried through that process,” Slater said. “It just symbolizes the everyday struggle.”

For Slater and Kerry, that struggle has included emotional swings between good and bad news, planning for surgery, and the added stress and expense of travelling for appointments and services off the Island.

In November 2023, Kerry learned she had multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A, known as MEN2A, a rare inherited syndrome affecting the endocrine glands. She was also diagnosed with medullary thyroid cancer, which is associated with the syndrome.

“That sounds like one of the worst things that can happen to someone, but I genuinely feel like to finally get answers after so many years felt really validating,” Kerry said.

Finally having a name for what she was experiencing brought relief, but getting the care she needs has been another challenge. Some of Kerry’s scans and surgeries require trips to Halifax.

“I do feel like only a fraction of care can actually happen on the Island, unfortunately,” Kerry said. “This is an endocrine disease, so I should have an endocrinologist, but there aren’t any.”
