Helping Women...


Breast cancer research is a subject that is very important to me, however, any disease that affects women is important to me, as it should be to all women.

Last year I participated in a Pink Art Doll that was raffled and the proceeds given to breast cancer research. This year some of the women I know through blogging have supported ovarian cancer research by creating another art doll, this one called The Ties That Bind. The doll has been created using decorated ties and charms that were made by all the participants. The doll itself was made by Jan Brown and the project sponsored and supported by Scrapbook Royalty.

If you are interested in this project or participating in the raffle (tickets are 1 for $5.00, 6 for $20.00), please click on the links. A winner will be drawn on September 30, 2009. It isn't really about winning the doll...that's just the bonus. It's about winning in the fight against a disease that is even more difficult to detect than breast cancer.

what an inspirational idea! I thought of you the other day, in the library where I go to a support group (not cancer related) there were keyrings shaped like butterflies with little beads. I would like to get you one!
