Not long after I tucked a pack of frozen peas in my bodice to soothe after a long day of biopsies, I was in the hospital for a mastectomy faster than you can say frozen peas. While there, friends started a fund-raiser for cancer that became the Frozen Pea Fund.
Now, a little over two months and ten thousand dollars later the Frozen Pea Fund has incorporatred and ready to do as much outreach as we can to help generous souls talk about both cancer and the fund, thus raising awareness, spirits, and funding.
Part of the community who has supported both me and the Frozen Pea Fund has been George Brett who created this necklace for me, symbolizing the frozen peas. Now as a way to reach out further into the community the image has been made into a stamp that you can use to promote awareness and direct people you know - and don't know - towards the Frozen pea Fund, and support our mission.
