Hi Everyone,

Please read my sister, Jenny's email below. She's helping us raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by donating her talents by making jewelry. Not just any jewelry--very VERY special jewelry. Jen's very talented with any kind of of jewelry making, and even made my tiara for my wedding! Please read her note, and also check out the pictures of the bracelets. So, please--help her, help us! :) Let's turn an ugly thing like cancer into something beautiful by wearing pretty jewelry that supports cancer research!!Thanks for even thinking about us!Love,Angie

MY SISTER'S EMAIL:
Hello Friends! As some of you know, my youngest sister, Julie, has been fighting the battle with cancer...and doing a great job at kicking it to the curb! In between the ups and downs of chemotherapy, radiation treatments, and full time work, she found time last year to train and run in the Rock n' Roll Marathon (San Diego, CA) with Team in Training raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. She has an unbelievable story and I am so proud of her dedication and focus to raise awareness for cancer research. This April, she has been invited to run with the Lance Armstrong Foundation (TeamLIVESTRONG) in the prestigious Boston Marathon. And in June, both of my sisters are running in the Rock n' Roll Marathon (with Team in Training). I totally applaud them. However, unless bears are involved, I don't do well running. So, I am getting creative and pulling out all my jewelry making supplies and getting back at it...except this time, all the proceeds will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Currently, I am doing a purple toned bracelet (general cancer awareness color--and K-State's color!) with a Swarovski crystal purple star (also have option of orange star for leukemia awareness), Swarovski pearls, star toggle and "awarness ribbon" charm, both in sterling, and faceted fire-polished glass beads in purple tones. All finishing components are sterling silver too. The bracelets are the traditional length of 7.5" long (other lengths -wider or children's- upon special request). They are $26.00 (flat rate shipping for up to 5 bracelets to same address is $2.50). I will accept checks, cash, and Paypal (bracelets4cures@curesrock.com) Again, all proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you have time, please check out my sister's blog at http://www.curesrock.com/.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely, Jenny Murdock
