Getting presents for your loved one can sometimes be quite challenging! What about getting something thoughtful for people with cancer? If you have never stepped in their shoes before, you would probably find it hard to find the appropriate and practical things for those going through this difficult time.
This is how Cancer Care Parcel came about! It was started by Dr Shara Cohen, who herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013.
