Hands2GO Helps Families and Friends Comfort Cancer Patients

Online, February 9, 2010 (Newswire.com) - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Livingston, NJ, February 11, 2010)- Many families and friends of those undergoing cancer treatments don't know how they can begin to support and comfort their loved ones. That is why Karen Sharkey, a cancer survivor herself, came up with Kare 'n Totes - Cancer Care Support Gift Baskets. Hands2GO, our alcohol-free hand sanitizer, has been specifically selected by Karen as the natural, non-drying, fragrance-free hand sanitizer of choice.

"It took me a year or so to come up with the specific combination of products for the totes and gift baskets. I interviewed cancer patients, nurses, and oncologists to help determine what products would address the most common symptoms experienced by cancer patients. The products I have chosen to include in the totes and gift baskets are paraben free and safe to use while undergoing cancer treatment," says Karen.

Water Journey has also donated samples of Hands2GO to be distributed by Karen at the Affair of the Heart Conference taking place on February 11th at the Lane County Event Center in Eugene, Oregon.
