To commorate my Father’s 81st Birthday anniversary and to honor my dad and mum losing their fight with Cancer I have organised a BIG raffle with 5 fantastic prizes to be WON. All details will be revealed on 1st October 2019 at 3AM when this goes live and tickets will be on sale.

I am hoping to raise $5864 and there are 2932 tickets that will go on sale 1/10/19. I was lucky enough to get some great Companies to sponsor my raffle and they are as Follows, Bernina Australia, Height’s Sewing Centre, Annie Lane Fabrics, Jalie Patterns and Spotlight. I am not revealing the prizes yet so you will need to watch this space for when it goes live.

So many of you have been affected either personally or indirectly by cancer, I lost a lot of people to the horrible desease. Both my parents, dad had lung cancer and mum had stomach cancer, my father in-law had lukemia and my grandfather had bowel cancer. I can’t tell you how difficult it had been for my family to watch our loved ones going through this.

They are my heros as it takes great strength to go through all the pain and suffering and still fight everyday. So I hope you all band with me to reach my goal of $5864 and hope that this contribution one day helps to find a cure.

The Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Research Centre has some fantastic services available for patients. The facilities are state of the art, the services that the ONJ provides has had some great outcomes with these acheivements. The Research Programs are just amazing and that is why I chose The Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre because it not only has fantastic doctors and specialists but also treats the overall wellness of its patients helping them to manage their cancer in a positive way.

In closing please find attached the official letter showing my involvment in raising money for the ONJ.

With love

This is not just open to sewers, but also knitters, crocheters, and any other craft you have knowledge in.  Once signed up and partnered with your mentor you are able to go through system steps available.  Ask questions, make a plan for what best your mentor can help you with, sorting out how much time you can devote to it, any technical issues or restraints etc.
