PLEDGE: To make an Original On-Off Handmade Accessory or piece of Jewellery to sell each month between October 2011 - September 2012. All funds raised selling these items via Ebay will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.
BACKGROUND: Having had to call on the services of Macmillan Cancer Support myself, I know only to well how much they need funds to do the fantastic work they do. Also sadly I have lost loved ones who have been cared for my the wonderful macmillan nurses during their treatment and last days. In particular I lost a lovely friend Jackie Bolton, who was an inspiration to me, spurring me on. Jackie was a beautiful, vivacious young mum. I am fundraising in memory of Jackie and Molly & Richard, the loved ones, she was forced to leave behind.
I have some mobility issues and can't do the normal fundraising walks & runs, so thought I would draw on my strengths. So I pledge to make a piece of fine, quality jewellery every month for a whole year, using the materials I currently have in stock or recycling old unwanted jewellery.SUPPORT ME: All the accessories/ jewellery created will be auctioned, monthly on ebay and all proceeds will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support. I hope you will support me and bid on the items that I make. All items will also be available to view on my website page - http://www.madammodmakes.co.uk/treasure-chest-challenge.php
You can also help by donating your own precious & non- precious jewellery broken or not to me. I will use all pieces donated to create fantastic refashioned pieces to sell in the forthcoming Charity Auctions. Please send your items to Cara Codd, 7 Hazelmere Avenue, Eccles, Salford M30 8ED.
GETTING INVOLVED FURTHER: You can of course donate directly to Macmillan yourself, or organise your own fundraising events. Please go to http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Fundraising for more information.

Wow...first let me say my condolences for Jackie. It's always hard to lose a friend.
