The Peppermint Project

Hi, my name is Anika Ray, and I've created the Peppermint Project to help support breast cancer patients in our community. The Peppermint Project aims to deliver gift boxes to breast cancer patients who are 6 months or more past their initial diagnosis. Cancer patients typically receive support when they are originally diagnosed but tend to see that wane as time goes on. All funds will go towards handmade boxes with peppermint tea, peppermint candies, and ginger chews, among other things. Each item is selected to help breast cancer patients with symptoms they may have. Specifically, peppermint is consistently recommended for nausea in relation to chemotherapy, although it's also been shown to help all types of nausea. All boxes will be gifted to patients at Cancer Care Associates of York. Please help us support the breast cancer patients in our community!
