Hug in a Bag

Those of you who know me will tell you I am an emotional person but today Lynn our Nurse not only brought tears to my eyes but made me realise how lucky we are and that people still do care about each other. 

Lynn met with one of the founders from 'hug in a bag' which is an organisation formed by three local ladies who met, laughed, cried and supported each other during their treatment for breast cancer.

Each of the three ladies coped in their own way but found that sharing their thoughts, anxieties and concerns was extremely helpful.

The aim is to give one more hug in the form of a bag containing gifts, information leaflets and discount vouchers to every person diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Sunderland Royal Hospital.

The ladies themselves can have no contact with patients due to confidentiality however as a practice Lynn can pass the hug on to our patients.  

Oh my...I have seen the contents of the bag and must say how lovely this is... how thoughtful.
