Recently diagnosed with lung cancer and sharing the news across the community on May 21, 2020, beloved pastor, friend and community activist Enoch Fuzz is stepping up to this battle as he had all other battles he has fought for others across decades in Nashville. “I’m a pretty sick fellow, but you know what, many people are praying for me and [that includes] every religion and faith, denomination and race, and I’m very appreciative. I have cancer,” Fuzz told The Tennessee Star Wednesday. “We are hoping to defeat this, but it’s going to be a long journey. If you don’t mind, I would personally thank everyone from the mayor and the city council to the guys on the street praying for me. I would request that they double up on those prayers, including blacks, whites, Jews, and Gentiles. I even ask atheists to pray for me.” Fuzz checked in to Nashville General Hospital because he had difficulty breathing. He’s tested negative for COVID-19 twice, according to the press release. His comments included his praise for the care he has received at the hospital and for his doctor, Dr. Rachel Thomas. The press release described Fuzz as “a noted community activist and organizer with successful records of connecting individuals and organizations for a plethora of ‘whatever the cause may be.’” “Prior to his illness, Rev. Fuzz was working with the distribution of food boxes and other needs of families affected by the storms and helping where he can by organizing assisting the needs of people connected to the Coronavirus epidemic,” the press release said. “Rev. Fuzz has also been an active board member of the Nashville General Hospital Foundation for over 15 years and supports the work of this hospital wholeheartedly. It was through his connections in the community and his innovative spirit that our food delivery program has provided more than 37,500 meals to thousands of people since March 1 of this year.”, shared NGH Foundation Board Chair Woody Wellborn. Always thoughtful of our community, Fuzz said he continues to encourage people to test for Covid-19 and take precautions with this disease and with their overall health. * Cap of $44,000 to date |
