Yes, I think they really are angels

I just heard of Imerman Angels today and couldn’t wait to write about them.

“Imerman Angels - http://www.imermanangels.org/index.php - carefully matches a person touched by cancer with someone who has fought and survived the same type of cancer (a Mentor Angel). Additionally, personalized matches are provided for cancer caregivers (family and friends of fighters) to benefit from other experienced caregivers. These relationships provide hope and comfort from someone who is uniquely familiar with the experience. This personalized matching service is absolutely free and is available to anyone touched by any type of cancer, at any cancer stage level, at any age, living anywhere in the world.”

How great is that?

I want to repeat a few things in this:

• You get to talk to somebody that’s your age, your gender and who has beaten the same type of cancer.  “A Mentor Angel is walking, talking, living proof, and inspiration that cancer can be beaten.”

• It’s Free! “Our service is absolutely free and helps anyone touched by any type of cancer, at any cancer stage level, at any age, living anywhere in the world.”

• And (AND) caregivers also get somebody to talk to. These folks have thought this through.

Here’s a link to some poignant (Heartfelt? Unedited? Revealing?) testimonials: http://www.imermanangels.org/about-us/testimonials/cancer-survivors.php

PS - I haven’t met Jonny Imerson who founded Imerman Angels, but I will find some way to meet him, shake his hand and thank him for what he's done.
