Last night I held my Relay for Life Fundraiser.
Most of us have been touched by this horrible disease.
I started this activity about 8 years ago for my
friend Donna. Donna’s mom passed away from cancer
and she decided she needed to help
fight this disease by forming her
American Cancer Society
Relay for Life Group called Jeanne's Angels.
Cancer had not affected my life at this time
but it was something I could do to help a friend
and was for a great cause with fun stamping.
Well life happened to me like many of you.
My dad was diagnosed with Colon cancer – not
once but twice. I am very grateful that he is a survivor
and fights it every day of his life.
Unfortunately, last June my family wasn’t so lucky.
My husband, Tony’s mom passed away
on June 6, 2015 from cancer.
So now not only do I do this for Donna
and her Jeanne's Angels group
but I also do this in memory of
my mother-in-law, Pat
and in honor of my dad, Bun.
Look at how much fun everyone is having.
Everyone made FIVE cards using all of the new
In Colors. Donna is in the blue t-shirt.
Most of their class fee was donated plus
a portion of my commission on all orders
placed during the event.
I had some prizes to distribute
throughout the night.
In total we were able to donate $1,000
to the American Cancer Society
through Jeanne's Angels.
I can't THANK everyone enough
for their support of this event.
I can't do anything alone — only with
the love, support and help from all of you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
and a HUGE THANK YOU from Donna.
