“Keep the change.” That short phrase, which often makes one feel generous and easy going, can do even more good this month, say the Minochas of Jersey City. From now through April 30, customers in the tri-state area can “round up” their purchases—or donate $1, $3 or $5 at checkout—to benefit MSK Kids, the pediatric program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, when they visit Stop & Shop, including the location at 232 Central Ave. in Jersey City.
The Minochas should know. Their three-year-old daughter, Anjali, is serving as this year’s ambassador for the annual campaign. Anjali is now cancer-free thanks to treatment she received last year for neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nervous system, at MSK Kids in New York City.
Neuroblastoma is often silent until it reaches an advanced stage, but Anjali had a rare case enabling doctors to spot her tumor before it spread and to remove it surgically, Anjali’s mother, Kimberly Minocha, explained.
Anjali began her treatment at MSK after emergency room doctors found a mass in her stomach.
