My dear friend Colleen is doing the
Ride to Conquer Cancer at the end of June this year. It is a incredibly difficult bike ride from Vancouver B.C, or maybe Surrey to Seattle Washington. It takes two days. The funds raised for the ride go towards the Canadian Cancer Foundation, and the ride raises a lot of cancer awareness. Chris did the ride several years in a row in honor of his father William Barber who passed away from brain cancer. Anyways, Colleen is doing the ride this year on behalf of her brother in law Rueban. Here is a link to
Rueban's amazing and inspiring blog.
I would like to help my friend Colleen with her fundraising efforts because she is so dear to me and because cancer stinks. I was thinking I could make and sell stuff to raise money for her. In particular there are these really cute necklaces I make. I thought I would just put it out there and see what the interest would be.
I call them mother necklaces but you don't have to be a mother to wear them. Miete has one. I made some for a few of my sisters and friends at Christmas. For mothers I put the same number of beads as they have children. The one on the left was for my sister Jacquie who just had her seventh. I could use any color of beads and make them with gold colored wire as well. They would make a fantastic mothers day gift. I am going to sell them for $10 a piece. So I thought I would just post this to see what the interest is. I have no problem shipping as well. Here is a link to
Colleen's donation site.
And here is a picture of Colleen.
