Brothers Provide Turkeys to James Graham Brown Cancer Center Patients in Memory of Their Mother - Archived

 

Two brothers, Alex and Tommy Gift, lost their mother to a 20-plus year battle with cancer.  In her memory, they established the Mary Jane Gift Quality of Life Fund at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center, part of KentuckyOne Health. Cancer treatment can be costly and leave many families with little resources during the holidays.  On Wednesday, November 27, the brothers will join with Dr. Cesar Rodriguez to distribute turkeys to 16 patients at the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Clinic day.  Patients at the BMT Clinic are battling blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
