Default Pink Ribbon Breakfast

[ATTACH=CONFIG]560689[/ATTACH]I don't know if you remember this quilt which I posted earlier.

Yesterday at the "Pink Ribbon Breakfast" here in Melbourne for research into breast cancer it did very well. The lady that was the highest bidder had recently lost her only daughter to this dreadfull desease so I was thrilled that she got the quilt. This breakfast has been going for 12 years, I go every year and so far we have raised over $900,000. 20 years ago the survival rate for breast cancer in Australia was 72% now it is 90%. The quilt was dedicated to my sister in law Lorraine who lost her battle with breast cancer in 1989 aged 45.

Awesome quilt. The money couldn't go for a better cause. I too lost a sister at age 45 from breast cancer. Four in my family have had breast cancer and I too am a 17 year breast cancer survivor. Thank you for donating the quilt.

Great cause, sad reality. Sorry for your family's loss of Lorraine years ago. Nice to see that she's still making a difference in your heart and the heart of the woman who lost her only daughter to the same disease.

Nice quilt by the way! Blood, sweat and I'm sure many tears went into the piecing and quilting of it.
