MILLERSVILLE, Md. — Linda’s Way, a DMV cancer support nonprofit, is running a Christmas in July Toy Drive for pediatric cancer patients at two local hospitals.

Romeo White, an active-duty Air Force member, launched the nonprofit this year after losing his own mother, Linda, to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma when he was a teenager.

“I wanted to create something for teenagers and young adults that are in a similar situation to where I was and provide mentorship and leadership to them to kind of help fill a void during a really important part of their life,” said White.

The toy drive will benefit patients at Inova’s medical campus in Fairfax and the University of Maryland Children’s Hospital. Each hospital will have toy distribution event at the end of July. White says they are requesting new toys for kids ages 2 through 17, with a focus on STEM toys and toys that are nonviolent. White says he hopes this will bring a smile to kids and their families battling cancer.
