STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Those who know Peter Timmins best remember him as a bruising, tough-as-nails linebacker who starred for Curtis High School and the University of Maryland back in the day.<\/p>\n

But the 6-foot-4 Timmins, who was inducted into the Warriors\u2019 football ring of honor last fall<\/a> and also serves as a color commentator for Shaolin Sports, will tell you his toughness pales in comparison to his wife, Sara, these days.<\/p>\n

Sara Timmins, a 33-year-old mother of two, is battling breast cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n

There are various fundraisers taking place to offset medical costs and out-of-work expenses.<\/p>\n

50\/50 raffle tickets and bracelets can be purchased to support Sara Timmins. The 50\/50 is $20 per ticket and can be obtained via Venmo @SaraStrongSINY.<\/p>\n

In addition, there will be a walk on Feb. 1 at Hart Boulevard by the Silver Lake Tennis Courts. It will begin at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of individuals to contact if you wish to purchase a 50\/50 ticket or bracelet, as well as make a larger donation.<\/p>\n
