HOLMDEL, NJ — The Bell Works water tower was lit up in blue this week to raise awareness for Pulmonary Fibrosis.

The initiative was made possible thanks to Holmdel resident and retired educator Linda Chadwick.

She became involved with the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation when her husband, Greg, was diagnosed in 2014. He passed away in 2018 at the age of 66.
