Episode Vickie Speed's Fight for Law Enforcement Cancer Support Cover

Vickie Speed's Fight for Law Enforcement Cancer Support

This episode of APS Radio features Vickie Speed, who lost her husband, Mitch Speed, of the Los Angeles (CA) County Sheriff's Department, to occupational cancer in 2018. Speed established Blue Cancer Connect (bluecancerconnect.org [https://bluecancerconnect.org/]) to honor Mitch's legacy. Host Jim Burneka welcomes Speed to the podcast to talk about raising awareness about this important issue. Speed emphasizes that simple administrative changes—like implementing exposure forms—can prevent families from losing everything after a tragedy. From funding research at the University of Cincinnati to assisting an officer whose child is battling brain cancer, Speed’s mission is grounded in a simple promise: ensuring no first responder family has to navigate the darkness of cancer alone.
