Matt, Cori, and I will be participating in the Komen Race for the Cure on Sunday Sept. 20th walking with the Knitters for Knockers team. We are planning on walking the 5k.
We are walking in memory of my husband’s amazing aunt who lost her fight with breast cancer 4 years ago leaving behind her husband and two small children. We are walking for my mom and my father-in-law who are both survivors. We are walking to raise awareness and fight breast cancer.
If you are at all able to, please consider donating. We appreciate any support,
no matter what size the donation. Please use this link when donating:

75% of the Oregon and SW Washington Affiliate of Susan G. Komen funds provide the following services for local women:
Education about breast cancer and early detection
Information and support to breast cancer survivors and their families
Mammograms for the uninsured or underinsured
Transportation and treatment support for survivors
In addition, 25% of their revenue is combined with Komen Affiliates nationwide, making Komen for the Cure® the largest private funder of breast cancer research in the world!
I’ve been so busy this past month knitting and sewing, but not taking photos of any of it! My plan is to get pictures and projects all updated over the next few days so expect a blog post about actual knitting by mid-week.
Happy weekend!
