Tommy Strong: Thank You from the Cox Family

A community has come together to support a family and help them rise through the unthinkable.

The family of Tommy Cox -- the 10-year-old boy who lost one of his legs in a boating accident this fall -- sends the following message to the North Andover community:


On September 5th, our lives changed forever due to Tommy’s accident. When our world turned upside down, many of you were there to help pick up the pieces.

Family, friends, neighbors, classmates, teachers, coaches, colleagues, complete strangers...

so many have done so much to support our family.
