Knit crochet every day in June for people with blood cancer

In June of last year, I was diagnosed with lymphoma after finding a lump in my neck. Due to the aggressive nature of my cancer, the best course of action was to undergo 6 rounds of inpatient chemotherapy. Since I was in the hospital for 5 days every 2 weeks, I was forced to quit my job as a nurse. With the help of my amazing doctors and nurses, I am now in remission.

While I was sick, crocheting (and knitting as of recent) gave me a sense of purpose and distracted me from what I was going through.

I was connected with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by my medical team to help offset the costs of my medical bills.

With the anniversary of my cancer diagnosis approaching, I am raising money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help fund cancer research and education, and to help in their search for a cure!

Want to join me in supporting a good cause? I'm taking on the Knit Every Day in June challenge to raise life-saving money for people in the U.S. living with blood cancer. $25 helps fund an episode of The Bloodline with LLS, a free podcast series that provides information to patients and caregivers. Every dollar goes towards driving forward the search for a cure. Whether you donate $5 or $50, every little bit helps. Thank you for your generosity! :)
