Links Our Charity Efforts
Here at Pure Sight &
Sound, we've embarked on a mission to give chemotherapy patients "one
thing to look forward to" during their chemo treatments. Research
at Duke University has shown that effective "distraction intervention"
can reduce the perceived time of treatment by 23%... making a 4-hour
chemotherapy session seem like 3 hours. Our goal is to provide,
at no cost to 1,000 hospitals worldwide, electronic equipment like
virtual
reality goggles, updated TV's, wireless headphones, personal DVD
players, and the like.
On a not-for-profit basis (in fact, we do
this at a loss), we raise funds through local groups such as Rotary,
Kiwanis, and also corporate sponsors, then buy & donate the
equipment to chemotherapy treatment centers in hospitals. We feel
that if we can make enough of a difference that a patient goes for all
their prescribed chemotherapy sessions, thus greatly increasing the
chances of success, then we can help cure cancer... one patient at a
time.
If you'd like to be part of the project, we'd love to have you on board.
Check out (for as long as the link stays active... let us know if it
goes away..) Conquering Chemo Anxiety for more information.
Please call Ed at
570-992-2992 if you can connect us with a hospital chemo treatment center that needs (free) audio/video equipment
or a group, company, or individual willing to fund their local hospital.
