Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer is something you would not normally associate with celebration but in our family we celebrated my sister-in-laws 10 years of good health in May after being diagnosed when she was in her late 30's.  Having two daughters of my own and reading the statistic that 1 in 9 women by the age of 85 will be diagnosed, I hope the continued research from funds raised will eliminate or at least reduce their risk of ever being diagnosed to an absolute minimum.

The 67 million dollars raised by the National Breast Cancer Foundation since 1994 has helped thousands of women, all ages, to also celebrate their return to good health.

The crafting community is always quick to get behind causes, so here are just a few haby items where some of their proceeds go towards Breast Cancer related foundations.

  2. Hey Jodie this is a great cause! My grandma, who was also a very crafty lady, passed away from breast cancer. I love that crafty people are so good at supporting such great causes. Thanks for sharing.

  5. Hi Jodie
    Thanks for featuring my embroidery pattern. Just want to make sure that everyone knows that 100% of the profit goes to Breast Cancer Research. And if you're a maker, please be inspired to "make & donate" too. We girls have to keep the funding going.
