HARRISONBURG, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – A kind donation will make things a little more comfortable for Sentara RMH Hahn Cancer Center patients undergoing treatment.
Representatives from Bob Wade Subaru dropped off eight boxes filled with plush blankets that will convert into comfortable heart shaped pillows.
Sales Manager Kevin Knott says it is part of the partnership between the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and the Subaru Loves to Care initiative.
“We donate blankets and that gives them a little bit of comfort when they are going to recovery so that they can stay warmer,” Knott said. “I know that just doing some research on it, they tend to get cold after the treatment, so this is just something that we can do to kind of give back a little bit.
This is the ninth year of the national partnership and by the end of this year, retailers across the country will have supported nearly 350,000 cancer patients through the initiative.
