““I have known Melissa since she founded a toy borrowing business called the Toybrary, in 2012. It was around the corner from where I live and where I spent many hours with my young kids, at the time, as they made music, created art, played, made friends and created long-lasting memories.
I witnessed Melissa’s world change from one day to the next when her son Colin got his cancer diagnosis, and I followed his cancer journey and her family’s journey. My work with MIP is my continued desire to help out in some capacity - using whatever skills I may have to help spread the word about the incredible work that Melissa and MIP has been able to do in such a short amount of time. It’s been an incredible privilege to be a part of this organization and to watch it grow from an idea to action and to see the true impact MIP is making in the lives of adolescents and young adults who are fighting cancer.””
