it is called Fealgood, because of John Feal, the founder

this is taken from thier web site
"The primary mission of the FealGood Foundation, a non-profit
organization, is to spread awareness and educate the public about the
catastrophic health effects on 9/11 first responders, as well as to
provide assistance to relieve these great heroes of the financial
burdens placed on them over the last five years. A secondary goal of
our Foundation is to create a network of advocacy on 9/11 healthcare
issues. We not only advocate for Ground Zero workers, but show others
how they can advocate for themselves and help others through
grassroots activism."

They really are a great organization with a great network of people
around the country.
