"The statistics are
horrifying~~
It is estimated that over 230,000 women were diagnosed with breast cancer during this past year. Ninety-five percent of these cases occurred in women 40 years of age and older. As horrid as those numbers are, they are an improvement over the previous year. And those numbers are an improvement over the year before -- thanks to increased awareness, better detection methods, and remarkable new treatments.

To bring a

Please click on the link above or the button on my sidebar and consider participating in this oh so worthy event! I don't knit, crochet or barely sew, but I'm going to figure out how to make something special! I'm sure that with all of the lovely, talented folks in bloggerville, we can donate fabulous scarves that will not only warm a woman's body, but her soul as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I really appreciate your visits and comments! Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Leena
