Almost everyone you meet has been touched by cancer in some way. Whether that be personally, from a loved one, or a friend, cancer affects almost everyone in some way. The American Cancer Society projects that about 1,700,00 people will be diagnosed with some type of cancer in 2016; about 44,000 of those will take place in Virginia. After learning these staggering figures, our team has decided to give back locally and partner with Massey Cancer Center.

After a team meeting this morning, our office employees put together bag
s for patients in Massey Cancer Center’s waiting room. Too often, patients and their families have to come into Massey’s waiting room for long hours in anticipation of receiving another round of treatment. To ease their wait, they receive bags that often include items such as coloring books, activity books, and playing cards. At this meeting, we were able to make FOURTY bags to give to Massey’s patients. We hope that these small gifts help to make their time less stressful.
