Thanks to your generous support, I donated my first set of warrior bags to Lurie Cancer Center’s Supportive Oncology Program.
Each warrior bag contains a washable and reusable draw-string bag with a pocket, as well as an infusion water bottle, and a journal to help make treatments a little more comfortable. There is also a card with more about my story and immunotherapy success and a link to a resource guide where patients can access information on clinical trials and find local support to help them cope with the mental and physical effects of treatment.
September is Blood Cancer Awareness month as well as Childhood Cancer Awareness month, so it was wonderful to be able to make such a meaningful donation during such an important month for cancer awareness.
Incredibly, on September 15th, which is also World Lymphoma Awareness Day, I learned my most recent scans showed I am still cancer-free. Being able to donate 30 warrior bags to Lurie Cancer Center was the best way to celebrate two years of remission.
Looking forward to doing more in the future to help support adult and adolescent cancer fighters.
