You may have seen our Appeal online at<br />
www.indiegogo.<strong>com</strong>/breastcancerbags , and for<br />
those who have donated or requested the bag<br />
pattern, we thank you for your support.<br />
If you haven’t yet checked it out, please do and<br />
read about our goal to establish a new website<br />
dedicated to this Appeal, so that we can expand<br />
our bag-making and distribution network around<br />
the globe.<br />
We have made a great start, and we hope to be<br />
able to make a difference to even more Breast<br />
Cancer Surgery patients in the future.<br />
(Remember to drop off your bags to us at Stand B06 at the<br />
Brisbane Craft & <strong>Quilt</strong> Fair this month too!)<br />

Did you know there are more than 500<br />
people diagnosed with Breast Cancer in the<br />
US each day?<br />
In the UK, it’s more than 120 per day, and<br />
in Australia, there’s more than 36 people<br />
diagnosed with breast cancer each and<br />
every day.<br />
And something like 30% of all cancers<br />
diagnosed in women are breast cancers.<br />
We received this just this week:<br />
“I wish to thank you for the donated drain carry bag. I<br />
received one of these bags on going home from<br />
hospital after breast surgery at Royal Womens’ at<br />
Brisbane.<br />
I very much appreciated being able to go out in public<br />
and being able to feel un-obvious to what I was<br />
carrying. Just a short note of thanks and to let you<br />
know how much I appreciated it.”<br />
