Chemo Capathon

Many of you know that my father died from complications after a bone marrow transplant.  He developed Leukemia late in life, and was just not able to survive the treatment.

One of the things that made the horrific treatment a little more bearable was the generous gifts that people made and donated for Chemo patients.  There were always hats, or scarves, or shoulder throws that were available to all patients when needed.  Since my father past, I’ve spent some time raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society.  I’ve been trying to give back, and help others.

I decided late in January to knit a Chemo Cap every month this year, and donate it to one of our local cancer centers.  I’m already a month behind, so I’ve got to get caught up.

Stay tuned, I’ll post progress as I go.
