Three years ago my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. After chemo and radiation, she has been cancer-free for two years. Last year, however, her older sister passed away due to complications aggravated by breast and pancreatic cancers. Every year since her diagnosis my mom has walked the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure with her children and grandchildren.
This year, I decided that I wanted to make something special for the granddaughters to wear. Using past Race for the Cure tee shirts and scraps of fabric, I made three little scrappy dresses, inspired by Little Blue Boo’s style.
It was a very last-minute project, but they turned out fun and the girls loved them (see Ivy reaching for a little high-5 action?) 
But the boys were jealous.
Next year I need to make something for them, too.
My mom, her daughters and granddaughters
We walked in celebration of Lorraine and in memory of Patricia.

My boyfriend's mum is in recovery from pancreatic cancer and is lucky that it was caught so early. Although I have known of people to pass away from cancer, this is the first time it's really shaken me. I did my first run for the pancreatic cancer charity and want to do more for all charities that help this horrible disease. Your mum and your family inspire me to keep fund-raising. Thank you so much for sharing this.
