Our Stake Relief Society had their annual Stake Women's Conference on September 14th. Every year, they plan a Service Project to participate in. Last year I helped with it and really enjoyed it. This year, Sister Z called me back in July to throw around ideas. At the time I was going through Chemotherapy. Obviously, baldness and chemo was on my brain (literally). I suggested that we could make Chemo hats. Even though it didn't go with their "theme" for the evening of service, Teri sent out an email to the women of the Stake with a few Chemo cap patterns that I had sent her.She let them know that if they wanted to make some, we would donate them to the Roger Maris Cancer Center in September. As the Friday night evening of service drew near, plans changed a bit and they did (along with lots of other things) make a few chemo caps that night. BUT sisters from all over the Stake had taken upon them the challenge in their spare time leading up to the Conference as well. It turns out that our LDS Fargo Stake Sisters had made 57 chemo hats to donate! How awesome is that?
Teri met me up at the Roger Maris Cancer Center to donate them this morning. So fun! As the weather is getting colder here in Fargo, we hope they will warm those that choose them as they are going through Chemo.
Here's the links that I sent to Teri back in July.
"This is more of what I like to wear. I think they are the comfy-est and I can sleep in them or wear them out in public without people seeing my bald head.

That is awesome. I just may have to find some spare time and spare fabric. That would be an awesome project.
