Today is Random Acts of Kindness Day, but pampering patients with care baskets is somewhat of a year-round thing for Peggy Jansen."It wasn't too far out of high school that I was fortunate enough to become a Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader," said Peggy Jansen. "And they do a lot more than just cheer on the field. They teach you all about being charitable, paying it forward in the community. So, I think that's where my heart really got started in wanting to give back.
That was the spark that launched Peggy's Pampering, a charitable community of people that recycle or reuse items to craft care baskets for people battling illnesses like cancer. Jansen prepared a special basket to give to Andrea Dwyer today on Random Acts of Kindness Day. Andrea was headed to the hospital to learn how to use a new treatment for her condition.
