#gardeningforcancer
As we approach the 4th anniversary of Mama Edna’s passing on May 2nd, we are looking at launching a new education program called Gardening for Cancer. With the help of several books and websites, we aim to help financially disabled cancer victims not only with a juicer and a “tool kit”, but also help with creating a small garden space. This garden will create food, fun and flowers for the person with cancer as well as allow time for him/her to spend outdoors in nature. According to research, gardening can help reduce stress levels while going through cancer treatments, while giving time to spend in the fresh air and sun, a major source of vitamin D, a much needed nutrient to help regulate stress levels. Please donate soon to help with this very worthwhile project. Thanks for you support.
