Margie’s Quilts of Hope was launched in 2004 to raise funds for breast cancer research. The fundraiser was dedicated to Margie Bradshaw, wife, mother, grandmother and quilter, and the many women around Australia who have or are suffering from this disease.
Margie showed amazing courage to face and fight breast cancer, but lost the fight.
Margie’s Quilts of Hope is an innovative fundraising initiative which is named in her honour and is raising money to fund research into a cure. It is part of the effort which will ultimately provide all women with an unbeatable defence against breast cancer.
We know too many women feel the pain of this disease. Join with quilters nationwide to raise funds for research as it could make all the difference for the future. This is a way we, as quilters, can make a huge difference. Most of us know someone who is presently going through the trauma; or someone who has been there - who knows who is going to be next?
