This morning I met the staff of a local cancer support organization. It is called the Wellness Community Southeast Michigan. They provide support groups, tai chi and yoga sessions, and educational classes for cancer patients and caregivers. When I read about what they do through TakePart.com, I realized that it would be a great opportunity for me to take care of others above and beyond being friendly or opening doors for people. From watching my father go through chemotherapy, I understand how scary and confusing it can be when you are diagnosed with cancer. I will start volunteering here as a greeter Wednesday. I hope that I can help to comfort at least a few people in their suffering. I'm sure they could use more than just my help though, so check them out if you would like to contribute...
