Cheektowaga teen recovers from bone marrow transplant and fulfills dream

Tim Richardson is officially a junior firefighter

BUFFALO, N.Y. — We first met Tim Richardson last year.

He's the 17-year-old from Cheektowaga who was battling leukemia and asked for fire department t-shirts to get him through his treatment.

He stopped counting after he received 4,000 shirts from around the world!
