Fox Chase Cancer Center has set up a fund in memory of Brian Kozera to raise money for bone marrow cancer patients. Kozera, a 44-year-old Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor, died Aug. 13 when his bicycle was involved in an accident with a pickup truck in Berks County. He was training for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii in October. The Times wrote a story on Kozera in May 2021 (https://northeasttimes.com/2021/05/12/iron-will/). Contributions can be made to the fund at http://donate.foxchase.org/briankozera.
