in your neighborhood, in your church group, your book club,
your knitting circle....
they work in your favorite clothing stores,
they teach your children at school...
they are your work peers,
your neighbors,
your best friends,....
your family~
they are amazing women,
strong, determined, beautiful...
they are
Breast Cancer survivors...
October
is the month
that is designated to raise
awareness for
Breast Cancer..
in my own
small, but special way,
this is my attempt to help raise
awareness about this
terrible disease...
National statistics~
1 out of every 8 women will
develop breast cancer
over the course of their lifetime..
Breast Cancer
is the most common cancer
among women...
there are more than
2.8 million breast cancer
survivors in the
United States...
while most of us
are well aware of the implications
of breast cancer,...
there are still those who
do not take the simple steps
to practice a monthly early detection
self exam..
early detection
can be the key to surviving
breast cancer...
you can find information
about breast health
and the importance of self examination
introducing my
Breast Cancer Awareness
knitted wrap...
(the latest in my Blooms collection series..)
the charitable proceeds
from the sale of this knitted wrap
will be donated to the
Susan G. Komen
foundation..
like many of you...
breast cancer has touched my
life as well...
it has affected many that I love,
my friends,
and my family...
my beautiful
daughter in law
is a breast cancer survivor..
~
as a family,
we know first hand
the fear that those two words
can bring to our lives...
our precious
granddaughters
were ages 1 and 3
when their Mother was diagnosed
with breast cancer...
now, 2 years later...
she is strong, and healthy
and alive...
~
she is an amazing woman,
she is my hero..
perhaps you or someone you love
would like to spread
the awareness
by wearing this beautiful
wrap...
