Ramen, Ramen Everywhere!

Ramen, Ramen Everywhere!

On Tuesday, November 20, I received a phone call from a teacher at Watchung Hills Regional High School. Her students had collected a lot of food for the Emmanuel Cancer Foundation, and she was ready to drop it off.

You can imagine our surprise when a large school bus pulled up in front of the building, packed to the brim with cans of food, boxes of Ramen noodles, and bags of clothes! With everyone working together, we were able to unload the bus in just over an hour. As I sit at my desk, which is now resembling a cave since I am literally surrounded by food, I am awed at the magnanimous efforts of the Watchung Hills students. This food drive was by far and above the largest one that ECF has ever received. I can't wait to start getting these supplies to our families for the holidays!

URBALIST CD a Great Resource for Kids & Teens

Kids and teenagers often turn to the arts to help them vent their frustrations while battling cancer. For Jesse Hershkowitz (aka Urbalist), a talented, young adult hip hop artist, simply writing songs was just a first step. Together with friends and family, he wrote, produced, and recorded an entire album. Cancerous Flow: Lyrical Journal is Urbalist's first major effort, and he is already making waves among young cancer patients and survivors. He's already made an appearance on the Stupid Cancer Radio Show, created by I'm Too Young for This! To listen to the songs on his album or to learn more about Urbalist's creative process, visit his band's website.
