TWO-TIME CANCER SURVIVOR LAUNCHES A GIVE-BACK PROJECT FOR ONCOLOGY HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO CELEBRATE HER SECOND HEALTHY ANNIVERSARY!
“I’m so sorry, Mj. The machine is down again. We have to reschedule you,” said Brittany, the radiology technician whose never-ending smile was replaced by facial features that showed fatigue. “I’m sorry. This shouldn’t keep happening.”
With shoulders rolled in, Brittany looked at her watch. 7:20 a.m.
“It’s okay Brittany. I don’t live far,” shared Mj Callaway.
“Not everyone will handle it the way you do.” Her jaw tensed. “If we can get it fixed, I’ll call you.”
With sessions booked every 10-15 minutes, the radiology department faced intense pressure to keep patients on their daily treatment plan and a very long night to get everyone in. Oncology healthcare professionals deal with equipment breakdowns, technology glitches, and internal challenges while trying to get their patients healthy again.
On Mj’s 30th and last radiation session, Brittany shared, “It’s a bittersweet day. I’m happy for you, but we’re going to miss your positive attitude.”
Knowing firsthand the stress oncology professionals are under daily, two-time cancer survivor, Mj Callaway launches the Bounce-Up™ Project on August 1, 2021. The Bounce-Up Project is a give-back appreciation program for oncology healthcare professionals who fight for their patients survival every single day. They are the warriors. Imagine the additional stress they felt with the pandemic.
“I remembered how much the oncology staff appreciated the holiday gifts, books, and Oakmont Bakery treats I gave them when I hit a milestone. Milestones are huge for all of us traveling this journey.”
Mj Callaway’s two-year cancer-free anniversary is Aug. 14th and August is her birth month. Anyone who has ever faced cancer or knows someone who has battled the disease understands every birthday and anniversary is a celebration. Sadly, some people don’t get the chance.
The Bounce-Up Project, using a Donorbox Campaign, originated in Pittsburgh, PA. Anyone can nominate an oncology professional to receive a Bounce-Up Project package.
Each Bounce-Up Project package includes:
* A Thank You card
* One uplifting book by Mj: Bounce-Up: Outpower Adversity, Boost Resilience, REBOUND HIGHER
* One Positive Energy tea packet
* One inspirational journal
* One smiley surprise
These positive packages will be distributed according to the amount of donations received. For every $20 donation, one Bounce-Up Project package will go to an oncology healthcare professional. Anyone can nominate a deserving oncology healthcare professional here.
We would love for you to be part of our Bounce-Up Project to brighten an oncology healthcare professionals day with your generous donation!
And remember, above all, Make It A Bounce-Up Day!
