Swimming for Katie
Today I am participating in completely different sort of hop. Today I'm joining with some 125 other designers as well as many other stampers all across the world who have joined together to support our friend and fellow stamper Katie Renz who is currently battling inoperable gastric cancer. We are proud and humbled to be Swimming for Katie!
If you're not familiar with her, Katie's cancer story started just before Christmas last year. This young, beautiful, healthy, vibrant mother of 3 with her infectious smile was suddenly diagnosed with an inoperable cancer, virtually overnight. A few tummy aches and then stage 4 gastric cancer. Her first post about it is here. The idea of “Swimming for Katie” came from her recent post here.
This exclusive stamp used in my sample, designed by Becky Oehlers is available as a clear stamp, as well as a digis or a dig and SVG cut file. 100% of the profits go to Katie's fund to help her and her young family. Her husband Kevin and her three young children need our help and support. In addition to the Keep Swimming Octopus, Marianne Walker and True =D Doodle Designs both also donated digis that are for sale.
Direct donations are also being accepted. Information central is HERE. This is a permanent page that will stay active at i {heart} papers with current information and the full 3 day blog hop listing, as well as the donation button.
Here are all the items for sale.
ETA: NEW PRIZE ALERT - Please see Kate's post HERE for information about a huge prize offering with a donation!
I hope you will join me in supporting Katie through a purchase or donation. If you would like to send Katie a card, her mailing address is:
