October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

What is Breast Cancer? from http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/About-Breast-Cancer/

    Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant(cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. It is considered a heterogeneous disease—differing by individual, age group, and even the kinds of cells within the tumors themselves. Obviously no woman wants to receive this diagnosis, but hearing the words "breast cancer" doesn't always mean an end. It can be the beginning of learning how to fight, getting the facts and finding hope. 

But that wasn't the case for Kristi.

    Kristi Lowery Lim lost her battle with breast cancer last summer mere months after being diagnosed. Kristi was a dear college friend of my husband and a fellow physical therapist. To honor Kristi, and support her family, my husband has set up college saving funds for her three young daughters. Nothing will replace the loss of their mother, but we hope to help them carry on with positive memories and a successful future.

    100% of all sales go to 529 State College Investment funds for Kristi's three young daughters. Items listed in this shop are donated by other generous Etsy sellers.

    This is our second year honoring Kristi. Last year we blew our $300 goal out of the water by raising $1,400. Thank you so much for all of your wonderful support and love!

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

  1. Allison how do I go about donating something for this? This cause is so very near and dear to me and I'd love to do something to help contribute to the future of these three girls. Please let me know, this is Karen Snyder from Karen Snyder's O. Sebastian.
