ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — UAlbany basketball coach Will Brown has launched a national initiative to help cancer patients impacted by COVID-19.
His Coaches Versus Cancer partnership with the American Cancer Society is aiming to raise $100,000 to help those with cancer in need.
“Some of them had lost jobs, lost health insurance, didn’t have money for treatment,” Brown said.
Brown and his wife have already donated $10,000 to the cause and are challenging other coaches to join in and help raise money.
“It’s so amazing what he started and initiated,” said cancer survivor Wendy Barlow.
Barlow finished her last round of chemotherapy treatments in December.
Barlow said Coaches Versus Cancer is helping to not only raise awareness for those who are going through treatment during COVID-19, but it helps to keep resources funded within the community that support people like her.
“I have a lot of questions about what my new normal future looks like with this illness out there because there are no vaccines for it,” Barlow said.
Coronavirus has become an added stress in Barlow’s road to recovery because her immune system is weak.
“You have to hold onto the positives because there has to be something positive at the end of the road to look forward to,” Barlow said.
As of Tuesday, Coaches Versus Cancer has raised more than $16,000.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo sent a letter on Tuesday to New York’s political leaders and representatives at the federal level. The missive outlines the state’s needs in upcoming national COVID-19 legislation planning.
According to the governor and his office, the previous COVID-19 stimulus failed to address New York’s revenue losses and included restrictions affecting Medicaid reform in New York.
What Cuomo’s office refers to as “Medicaid reform,” watchdogs and activists on the left consider an unethical $2.5 billion cut to the program in the midst of a global pandemic.
According to the left-leaning publication the Intercept, Cuomo held the legislature “hostage” to push the Medicaid cut through the 2021 budget, “even though doing so would mean forfeiting $6.7 billion in federal aid.” The new budget also rolled back progressive bail reform measures that went into effect in January, as well as cutting education funding across the state.
Although Cuomo’s national star continually rises in response to his popular, calming, and focused daily coronavirus updates, the controversial austerity measures during the crisis has baffled many connected to the capital.
