OTHER EVENTS:

Knit a Noni Forget-Me-Not Flower for Breast Cancer Research

This very special knitted flower has been designed and created by Nora Bellows of Noni Designs, in memory of all the women across the world who have fought and won or lost the battle with breast cancer. Nora was inspired to create this special tribute - felted forget-me-nots - after she was contacted by fellow designer Dorret Conway. Nora never had the opportunity to meet her grandmother because of this disease.

Every year over 12,000 women in the UK and more than 40,000 in the USA, will lose their lives to this disease.

If you would like to help raise awareness and raise funds you can:

• Buy the pattern for the Noni Flower for Breast Cancer Research. Proceeds from the sale of the pattern with be continue to be donated to Walk the Walk in the UK and the Susan G. Komen Foundation in the USA.
• Knit a Noni Flower and wear it in memory of a loved one. These Noni flowers can be used as a beautfiul embellishment for your knitted projects - as shown by the design on this bra - as well as a symbol for breast cancer research.
