I'm a Knitter for Knockers

I finally signed up to walk in the Komen Richmond Race for the Cure on May 10, joining a fun bunch of knitters and friends. This race always occurs on Mother's Day weekend, and for many years I was visiting my late mother in North Carolina. Last year Little B was too new to subject to such an adventure, but this year Wee C & I have agreed that she will walk alongside me and let her little sis sit in the jogging stroller.

One in eight women will be stricken with breast cancer in her lifetime. Isn't that astounding, and alarming, yet not that hard to believe when you think of how many women you know who've been affected? My best friend's mother. My boss. My daughter's best friend's mother (who is my friend too ~ and much younger than I). A professional colleague and friend who will lead her team, Lisa's Lifesavers, in this race for the sixth straight year.

Please join us in the fight to fund vital breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs in our own community and support the national search for a cure. Your tax-deductible contribution will fund innovative outreach and awareness programs for medically underserved communities in Richmond and national breast cancer research -- AND it will give you a chance to win some great yarny prizes!

For every $5 you donate to the team, you'll be entered in a drawing to win a fabulous knitting prize! (I'm not sure that happens if you donate on my personal page.) To be entered into the raffle, you MUST enter an email address when you donate. For more information on prizes, please visit Knitters for Knockers. You'll see goodies from Blue Moon Fiber Arts, Chic Knits, The Loopy Ewe, Wendy Knits and more.

You can make a donation online by visiting the team donation page, or my personal page.

We'd sure appreciate your support in the fight against breast cancer -- and if you're in Richmond, consider joining our team!
