When a family loses someone to cancer or any other malicious type of disease, The first thought is that you wish you could of done something so that it never happened. The fight for cancer is a hard one but a slowly successing one. Cancer is in alot of people's genes and these days it's getting easier and easier to get rid of it but there's never the promise of it never coming back.
Cancer is the number one killer for both men and women (according to the Department of Hea'th)and it comes in many shapes and sizes killing 135,000+ people each year.
The fight for Breast Cancer is in my personal life because my mom had breast cancer for a couple years and went through chemotherapy and years later she is Cancer Free! My sister also had a form of cancer in her chest and had it removed before it could spread anywhere. My mom got very active in the Breast Cancer Awareness community and she tells everyone she knows her story of success in order to raise some hopes of people suffering with it or know someone with it.
We walk at the Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure" whenever it comes around our city. It's a day to remember the struggling times and the people who died from cancer but to also collect money for Cancer Research.
My mom and dad decided to start making knitted caps and called it "Flutterby Caps" out of the inspirational insect (the butterfly). They donate a cap for free whenever they meet a person undergoing Chemo and sell them at an impressive price to anyone who would want one, a portion of the proceeds from every purchase of a Flutterby Arts™ item is contributed to the American Cancer Society to help in the battle against cancer.
