FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A UNIQUE CANCER CARE GIFT PACKAGE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE FROM CANCER CARE PARCEL AND TWIST OUT CANCER
 

Partnership launched on Sunday, June 6 to celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day®

June 3, 2021, Chicago – Twist Out Cancer, an international non-profit charitable organization that provides psychosocial support to individuals touched by cancer through creative arts programming, announced today it has partnered with Cancer Care Parcel to make Touched by Cancer Gift Boxes available to anyone that has been touched by cancer.  This includes, previvors, survivors, caregivers, or anyone currently undergoing treatment for cancer.  Cancer Care Parcel is based in the United Kingdom and enables people with cancer to bring some calm back into their lives through practical and enjoyable gifts that provide comfort for those going through a difficult time.  Some of the proceeds from sales of these Gift Boxes will be donated to Twist Out Cancer.

“We are overjoyed to partner with Dr. Shara Cohen and the team at Cancer Care Parcel, who have been providing these gift packages for years to people all over the world,” said August Spree, the Director of Programs at Twist Out Cancer.  “On National Cancer Survivor’s Day, it is important to remember that the trauma and recovery from someone’s cancer diagnosis can stay with you for years, even after they are in remission.  This unique box that Shara put together can help anyone touched by cancer – in any point of their journey – feel a sense of calm.  It is also a great way to send support to a loved one who has had an experience with cancer.  Sometimes a card doesn’t seem like enough – Cancer Care Parcel is a wonderful alternative.”

The Touched by Cancer Gift Boxes can be ordered at:  https://cancercareparcel.com/main/cancer-care-parcel-shop/touched-by-cancer.  Each box includes: 

• A caffeine-free Calm Tea, which is an herbal tea blend to enhance peace and calm.
• Two Neck Cushions, which can help people to get comfortable and relax. 
• A Premium Hand Sanitizer that is both gentle and effective and is made from a natural solution.
• A Super Soft Blanket, which can be used at home when convalescing and also just for pampering.
• A Candle, which can be used to create a relaxed atmosphere.
• An Essential Oil Diffuser, which disperses essential oils into the air and fills the area with a natural fragrance.  This can be used to help unwind after a tough day.
• A Water Bottle to help everyone stay hydrated during long days.
• A Massager, which can help relieve tension and relax tense and tender muscles.
• Lip Balm, which can instantly soothe dry lips and locks in moisture for a bit of pampering.

Dr. Shara Cohen, the CEO and founder of Cancer Care Parcel, said, “As I am currently in remission from Breast Cancer and am an Inspiration in their Brushes With Cancer program, I know how worthwhile their work is.  I am delighted that Cancer Care Parcel can partner with Twist Out Cancer to reach their community with our Gift Boxes.”
