Craft 4 a cause

By Trudy Taylor

I’m helping raise vital funds for breast cancer education, research and patient support.

I am a breast cancer survivor. I had stage 3 breast cancer, i endured a year of hard treatments, numerous surgeries then followed by 6 yesrs of prevention treatment. It has all taken its toll on my body, but i am here to tell the tale.

If it weren't for the breast cancer research and finding treatments that work. I wouldn't be here today, to love my family and carry on with life.

That is why my little paper crafting business, Scrappy cow crafts, in Whanganui is donating to this amazing cause. Every person who attends a class in October, I will donate a 20% of the class fees.

I will also accept donations.

Every year 3,700 New Zealanders are diagnosed with breast cancer, and more than 650 will die.
