THANK YOU!

Due to Covid-19, I was unable to get out and about to raise funds; I'm in the vulnerable category (immunocompromised).  Since it is largely up to people like you -  I came online and I'm still here, and I quite like it, despite it is much slower than out there!

So, Onwards and upwards!!!

My story. My reasons.  My plan of action: if you want to go back a bit...

I am a breast cancer survivor, and back on the trail of that elusive goal, the precious gift that will one day rid us of such soul destroying darkness: a cure for breast cancer will free many women and men of its dreadful cloak - one that wraps without kindness, its touch has no comfort, and for those who wear it..

Since my own battle with breast cancer and recovery, to years later helping to look after my mother then watch her die horribly from lung cancer, I have striven to fight in the hope we can eradicate all forms of cancer from our lives and make a better future possible with my brand of Crafts by me, Bought by you hand painted/made/sewn gift ideas.. 

…and, regardless of the country currently spurring you into action, it means the same end result for everyone.

All your thoughts, shares and donations will be a massive step to that magic.  As well as a donation, I am asking you to  share this page/or my posts if you see them, and tell everyone you see each day about it too and how they can help change this world - sadly, for far too many people.

2020:  Very little action as yet aside from selling off some stock and materials and my gazebo, which my husband bought and donated the money back.  I am slowly adding pictures and videos to groups and pages in the hope of selling from these.  When the decking is done, and our decorating, I will concentrate on painting and taking pretty pictures of existing and new stock!  The goal for now is to use this online medium.  

Maybe next year will be the time to get back out there, and for all of us to regain strength and heal, and think of life a new... and what we can ultimately do for others less fortunate, in need and for our planet. 

Meanwhile, I hope everyone will follow the existing protocols in place and common sense where not.  And, stay safe!

2019:  At the moment, as well as trying to obtain as many donations as possible, I am working tirelessly in my second year of fundraising, to create an array of my hand crafted goods,  and finding more events to sell them at.  The response has been great!  (See my updates below).

2018: At my first ever event (I had table at a Christmas Fair) turn out was poor and not craft orientated.  I sold sweets, raffle tickets, lucky dips and some of my items - my lovely husband sold a lot more of my crafts where he works, so that made up for it.  

As I work on projects for my next event as always, I will  continue to forego all gifts within my control, and that money too will be sent to cancer research… why not try it for a while!

Again, all of the money raised will go to aid valuable Cancer/BC research and we will find the minds that will help us beat all cancers once and for all. 

The tireless work at Cancer research right now means almost 8 in 10 women diagnosed survive their disease for 10 years or more thanks to the support from fundraising and donations. The organisation receives no government funding, which will make what you and I raise, very inspiring. But there's so much more to be done. More than 130 women today will be told they have breast cancer.

Here are just some of the key areas your money will go to:

£1,000 kits out a PhD student with the essentials they need to start their fight against cancer.

£225 covers the cost of fifteen visits to a mobile awareness unit for advice on reducing the risk of cancer, signs and symptoms. These visits can save lives.

£600 buys a multi channel pipette. This means scientists can accurately measure 12 things at once, speeding up the pace of life saving research.

£302 buys special chemicals, called antibodies, to light up vital, tiny parts of the cell, to shed light on new ways to beat cancer sooner.

Cancer Research thanks everybody everywhere doing their bit, and I thank you for coming here, reading and hopefully for your support.

Stay well,

Thank you!
