Help me raise awareness, and help my sister with cancer

I have some beautiful Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Bracelets that I am offering as a fundraiser to help with some of my sisters' medical expenses (she has no medical insurance ). The cost is $20 (including shipping).

They are sterling silver and ameythst crystals. It is a mauve-y amethyst so you *could* pass it off as a pink bracelet as well.

I have them under awareness bracelets on my myspace. There are two variations of the same basic style. One has round space beads next to the crystal, the other has vertical spacer beads. Your choice of a toggle or lobster clasp.

No pressure, but please take a look! Feedback is always appreciated.

Just pm me. I can take Paypal (pam.backstrom @ indianola. net - remove the spaces) is my id.

Include your mailing address. Also the wrist size (normal is 7.5 inches, but I have fat wrists so I know some people could use a bead or two extra to be comfortable)

The response from GCers has been wonderful. I am always so proud of my greek affliations.

THANK YOU ALL.

Thank you all who have helped me help my sister.

Everyone else who looked, I thank you as well.

Of course, there is *always* time to get a bracelet (free shipping). HINT HINT! Winter Holidays and its gift giving demands are upon you....these will be a special hit!

I have never tried something like this to help a family member. I appreciate all those here who help!

I know there is a fine line between "salesmanship" and being annoying, and I definitely want to be the former!!!

Your support would mean so much...

I am only sending this out one more time....I don't want to be annoying.

I have created some beautiful Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Bracelets that I am offering as a fundraiser to help with some of my sisters' medical expenses. The cost is $20 (including shipping). Think holiday gifts!!!

My sister doesn't have medical insurance, and her surgery will be in Indianapolis (about 45 miles north of her home). I want to be able to help them cover costs that will allow her family to be there as much as they can. She was there for me when Jon was hospitalized in 2005.

They are sterling silver and ameythst crystals. It is a mauve-y amethyst so you *could* pass it off as a PM bracelet as well. There are two variations of the same basic style. One has round space beads next to the crystal, the other has vertical spacer beads. Your choice of a toggle or lobster clasp.

I have them under awareness bracelets on my myspace (www.myspace.com/indysage).

No pressure, but please take a look! Your support if you can, is more than I can ever repay.

(no more spam I promise!)

An Update on my sister

I wanted to thank you all for your support, good wishes and prayers.

My sister came through her surgery with flying colors and her prognosis is excellent.

Thank you again.
