Susan connected Crickett's Answer to Cancer with LympheDIVAs, helping provide beautiful and necessary, but expensive, compression sleeves to cancer patients needing them.
It didn't stop there though. Of course it didn't. This is Susan I'm talking about. She then brought Liz Lange, who you might know best for her maternity line in Target, into the mix. Liz agreed to design a sleeve to be sold by LympheDIVAs with the proceeds to benefit Crickett's Answer to Cancer.
A couple of days before Susan died, we spoke about the sleeve. She was so proud of making that connection and helping women in need obtain the compression sleeves they so desperately needed.
This is a great day for Susan's work, advocacy, and legacy.
I hope you will help me spread the good news.
So wonderful. And will indeed spread the word.
ReplyDeleteYour friend Susan is certainly amazing, Marty. I love reading about her and feeling the love and support you gave each other. And are still giving each other, even though you had to change the way you go about it.
ReplyDeleteAmy
well done, Susan!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I want to order one for myself and donate!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHappy to do so! Such wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! This is so great. Susan must be beaming about this from heaven and lending her prayers for all the women who will wear this fabulous lymphedema sleeve. I will certainly spread the word. Way to go Susan!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! My mom wears a compression sleeve so I'll definitely share this with her and she's part of a breast cancer group in her community that helps provide resources, etc. YAY!
ReplyDeleteMarty, this post that you shared on Susan's FB page led me to read backward through your blog yesterday, and I sobbed and sobbed all over again for the loss of Susan.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I met Susan and Curt in 2003 when we were all fostering beagles for BREW. I hadn't seen her in years when we reconnected via FB a few years ago, but I still think of her nearly every day. I have two boys almost the exact ages of hers, and I often find myself looking at my sons and wondering how Curt and their boys are managing through their grief.
You certainly knew her much, much better than I, but I want you to know that I think of her often and miss her and am angered that she is not still here.
This is yet another part of the inspirational legacy Susan left behind. I didn't know her in real life, but I loved her, too.
ReplyDeleteIf I may, I'll comment on what you said back in May, about the "work" you have ahead of you, the "value" to cherish within yourself. I'll do it separately; I just want to point it out in case you don't check older posts for comments.
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
ReplyDeleteI do not know who you are but definitely you are going to a famous blogger if
you are not already ;) Cheers!
