Melissa has worked with both the United Nations and non-governmental organisations in different parts of the world and also with refugees here in the UK.
Having lost her mother after a long battle with ovarian cancer, she hopes to be able to bring some of what she has learned to Cancer Care Parcel as one of Cancer Care Parcel's authorised contributors.
Melissa hopes to contribute to Cancer Care Parcel's efforts to help friends and family learn more about cancer and how it is normal to struggle when caring for a loved one, in order to be better able to offer support.
