Cancer patients: Take a look at the Look Good Feel Better Program (LGFB). Even Estee Lauder participates in it(thanks Estee Lauder) with the idea that you can do something to make yourself feel better. And the boxful of goodies, donated by the many sponsor companies, shows community support. Participate in the LGFB near you, and come away with a free box of goodies to pamper yourself. Site address for the program is: http://www.lgfb.ca/en/
