Look Good Feel Better (LGFB) is a national
charitable program that helps women cope
with the effects of cancer and its treatment,
through a two-hour complimentary workshop
that offers tips and techniques on cosmetics,
wigs and skincare. It’s a few hours of learning
and pampering, as well as a place for women
to connect with other women facing a
similar diagnosis.
“There aren’t many people that can understand
what you’re going through,” says Jennie
Griffin, who was diagnosed with acute
lymphoblastic leukemia last year at the age of
- “It felt really good to know that I wasn’t in
it alone. At the LGFB workshop, I didn’t feel
like a patient. I just felt like everyone else.”
The workshop’s practical advice and
supportive environment is aimed at
empowering women as they go through
treatment, as well as boosting their confidence
and sense of well-being. “I always wore a wig
because I wasn’t comfortable in head wraps
at the time,” explains Jennie. “One lady at the
LGFB workshop had a scarf on her head and
I thought it looked so good! She explained
it to me and with that technique I started
wearing head wraps.”
The program’s effects reach beyond the
attendees, impacting family members who
get to see their loved one with their spirits
lifted. “For my mom, it was a relief to see me
have a smile on my face,” says Jennie, who
today is in remission and a LGFB ambassador.
