All I want for Christmas ...

With visions of sugar plums and hopes for a visit from St. Nick, young patients of MassGeneral Hospital for Children's Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Unit and the Francis H. Burr Proton Therapy Center have received special treats during their
appointments. Sarah Faucett, a generous donor and friend of the MGH Cancer Center, coordinated the gift collecting effort in her hometown of Weston and delivered wheelchair-loads of colorful presents to be given to the children during their doctor's visits. In addition, the Starlight Starbright Children's Foundation, in collaboration with Starbucks, has been delivering presents to the unit from the organization's annual toy drive.
