Former First Selectman Battles Lymphoma Cancer

MONROE, CT — The family and friends of a former Monroe First Selectman are rallying together after the Monroe native was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer.

Andy Nunn was Monroe's First Selectman for three terms from 2001 – 2007. In November of 2015 he was diagnosed with cancer while seeking new employment after serving the City of Bridgeport for eight years. He is currently receiving chemotherapy treatments for his illness and the family needs help to provide for his four school-aged children.

"Andy is a selfless person who has served his local community for over 20 years as a coach, referee, volunteer and on various committees. Our goal is to help the Nunn family realize their current financial needs medical, home and daily expenses," the family write on their fundraising page.
