Review for Elixir Fund, Princeton Jct., NJ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am a volunteer with the Elixir Fund for almost 2 yrs and when I first met Meg I saw a angel with golden wings full of love, compassion,respect and hope. I knew I wanted to be a part of this program so I brought my skills as a CMT massage therapy to Elixir and now I volunteer in hosp. infusion and radiation centers.Pain ,discomfort and fear can and may be a major factor in cancer and Elixir can help lessen some of these effects. As a CMT, light touch massage , foot and hand massage has an immediate effect on mood , stress hormones thus reducing the perception of pain intensity,anxiety, even nausea and thus increasing relaxation . If I was asked to just say a few words about Elixir I think I would say " We Care. We will Help. I am here for you."
