Watch: Brookline Police Bring the Jokes for 7-Year-Old With Leukemia
The department's video helped inspire "Bridget's Joke Challenge," and it seems the laughter is contagious.
BROOKLINE, MA — Brookline Police took a stab at comedy for a very good cause in a video shared this week.
It's for "Bridget's Joke Challenge," dedicated to seven-year-old Bridget Kelley, who's fighting leukemia at Boston's Children Hospital.
The video helped inspire what is now a challenge, which Brookline Police has passed along to the police departments in Boston and Franklin, plus the Brookline Fire Department. Five of the Brookline officers featured are cancer survivors themselves.
