"Love Notes" For Cancer Patients and Families
uplifting greeting cards help keep cancer patiences and their families spirits up in challenging time
LOVE NOTES FOR CANCER PATIENTS AND FAMILIES
Valentine Day couple with "Love Notes" is an epitome of a good things comes in pair. Starting this month in the greater Los Angeles area, a newly fashioned expression of love is now available.
"Love Notes" shares Vivian Chan, “is an expression of compassion and care for cancer patients and their families during times of treatment." Led and first developed by Vivian Chan (ACS volunteer/cancer survivor) in 2012 for cancer patients in the greater Los Angeles area and abroad. 'Love Notes A Go Go' was developed because Vivian says during her own treatment, she received uplifting greeting cards helped keep her spirits up when she battled breast cancer over 16 years ago. It inspired her to do the same for other cancer patients, with the goal of spreading love & caring feeling to cancer patients everywhere. "Starting this February to correspond with Valentine’s Day, we envision Love Notes as a special way that people can connect to those affected by cancer while raising funds to support ongoing American Cancer Society care, treatment, and cures."
