Hundreds of breast cancer survivors were served a fresh and free seafood feast Friday courtesy of a Georgia State Trooper. “Today we feed the entire community. Anyone can stop by and get fried shrimp, boiled shrimp, hot dogs and hamburgers. We’re just feeding the community and we just want to give back,” Major TK King told WJCL 22. Thanks to Smith & Sons Seafood and shrimper Lil Ricky Boone, King and his friends were able to give away 750 pounds of shrimp to the community; the breast cancer survivor community. “I love giving back and I’ve seen family members and friends die from cancer, it’s a terrible thing. And I just wanted to show people that they are loved and that’s exactly my reason,” King said. King’s friends in law enforcement and the Darien community stepped up with one goal in mind: to serve people like Carol Buffington. “I love being around people who have been through what I’ve been through,” Buffington told WJCL 22. The two-time cancer survivor says Friday’s celebration put a smile on her face. “It shows he cares about the community, he’s invested. “I think it’s absolutely amazing,” Buffington said. “I’m not looking for anything else – I’m not looking for a thank you, I’m not looking for a pat on the back, it’s just knowing that I can put a smile on the face of someone who has survived cancer, and just do it. “Know that they are loved. That’s just all I want to do today,” King said.
