...SO DO I!
I came across this site tonight and boy am I glad I did! I found this incredible digital stamp set from StampInsanity Stamps...Beth Schultz, the illustrator of these incredible images, has been affected by breast cancer.
Here is her story:
I am very partial to all of my character stamps, but there is none that are so special to me as Katie. You will be seeing Katie from time to time, battling various ills and raising awareness for various causes. This first one, however, is especially dear to me.
Earlier this year, in 2010, I got a call from my Mom – in and of itself, not a bad thing! Her news, however, shook me to my core. My cousin, the now grown in to a beautiful woman Kate, had been diagnosed with breast cancer! My first thought was, How can that be?! She’s 33 years old, and perfectly healthy! Then the tragedy and fear set in. The world is a better place for having her in it. Kate is special. Everyone would agree.
Kate’s story is not unique and that is epically tragic. Breast cancer has hit more mature members of my family and our friends for generations, and there is no shortage of news stories on tv and in print. But… Katie is younger than me! She will ever be the little girl who followed me around as a kid and wormed her way into my heart, so that she was more like my little sister! This was too much, but what could I do? I raise a kid and market stamp art – hardly conducive to any manner of help. From there Katie for a Cure was born.
I ask that you consider purchasing the Katie set, and know that your contribution will be combined with all the others to benefit breast cancer research. It is time this disease was stopped. This is how we can help.
You should consider purchasing this set. You can also make an additional donation with your purchase. The money raised goes to the Susan Gomen Foundation and the American Cancer Society.
