Most people stop to look when they see or hear an ambulance. Now, there is an ambulance that may have people taking a second look.
Western Area Volunteer Emergency Services (WAVES) needed to retire the original Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Fund ambulance after six years and over 100,000 miles of service.
The first Baldwin ambulance was so popular, WAVES decided to create a Baldwin ambulance number two. This one has brighter pink colors and new logos.
The original Baldwin rig responded to over 6,000 emergency calls. Over time, it even became a requested emergency vehicle by patients.
Carol Baldwin and her family, including her well-know actor sons, started the Carol Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
It is still the family's mission that they say they can’t do without the support they get from across New York state.
Daniel Baldwin, The Baldwin Fund spokesperson, says, “I think one of the unique things about my mom's fund is that we’re here in Central New York, so we depend on those people, on our team here. It’s a local, in-house situation where, ya know, it’s a lot of mom-and-pop places. It's not big corporations that are coming here. We keep the money here. We write the grants here. We want to find a cure here at Upstate Medical Center, so we service one thing: Find a cure for breast cancer. It is that grassroots thing that you're seeing here right now that helps us do that. And hopefully, we find a cure soon. We’re getting closer.”
Daniel Baldwin says his mother, Carol, is still sharp and pushing the family on the mission to find a cure for breast cancer at 91 years of age.
WAVES ambulance says adding this Baldwin rig is just another effort in trying to improve the health of the people of New York.
On July 31, the Baldwin Fund will host a motorcycle rally called the Cider Ride at Beak & Skiff Orchards.
