Some of you may recall that last year, together with several of my co-workers, I participated in the Relay for Life. The observant of you readers may have noticed that last weekend I put a link to my page for this year's relay up on the blog (top right). It is a great cause to benefit cancer research and supports. After all, I don't think any of us have never been affected somehow by this disease. Some of you reading this may be cancer survivor's yourselves. Or perhaps your loved ones have fought or lost the battle with this dreadful disease. We really need to find a cure so that we can stop the suffering. The relay itself is June 10th, and between now and then, our workplace will be the site of many fundraising activities. This week, we launched a raffle, featuring great prizes perfect for Mother's Day. My contribution is this facecloth and soap (handmade during my soapmaking obsession a couple years ago):
(The basic garter stitch cloth is stil my favourite).
I'm hoping that I can count on the generosity of my readers to assist in raising funds for this great cause. And, in order to encourage you, I'm having a raffle of sorts right here on the blog. If you contribute (go here or use the link on the top right) you will be entered in a draw to win this:
Yummy, beautiful Koigu. There is no required donation amount in order to be eligible for the raffle. And, if response is good, I will add raffle items, likely sock yarn from my way too big stash. So please, donate to this great cause.
The draw will take place sometime in the day or two following the relay itself. The Relay site notifies me by e-mail when a donation is made, but if you would like to be sure I know, feel free to e-mail me (my e-mail link is in the left sidebar).
Thanks in advance for your support.
