Every Friday for the past six years that I ve been broadcasting your daily wake up call, I ve been honoring local law enforcement. Today our honoree is Christian Santucci, on Thursday of this week he was Chief Santucci for the Fair Lawn Police Department.
Christian is a special honoree for sure, as he is a 13-year-old middle schooler who is battling pediatric Leukodystrophy.
Sadly his younger brothers, Angelo and Stefan, have been diagnosed with the same disease and were appointed captains to serve along with their older brother Christian.
Our prayers are with the Santucci family and these young boys as they tackle a challenge that is truly unthinkable for most people.

A drunk Passaic County driver led police on a late-night chase up Route 208 at speeds that reached 100 miles an hour before crashing his pickup truck at the on-ramp to Route 287 in Franklin Lakes, authorities said.
Sean Fachner, 39, of Hewitt started out by speeding up behind Fair Lawn Police Officer Brad Pindyck’s marked patrol cruiser on northbound Route 208 shortly before midnight Wednesday, Sgt. Brian Metzler said.
Pindyck pulled over to avoid a possible collision, then tried to stop Fachner s 2019 Chevy Silverado truck, he said.
Fachner hit the gas, then pretended to stop on the shoulder before speeding off at nearly 100 miles an hour, Metzler said.
