If you have been around All Things Thrifty for awhile, you know that I have posted about Chase a few different times. If you are new around here, let me tell you a little about him. Chase lives around the corner from me, and he is THE. CUTEST. little guy ever! Chase was diagnosed with Leukemia in July of 2010. Dani {Chase’s Mom} and I are good friends. I even got to help paint some furniture for Chase’s room too {back before he was diagnosed!}
Chase and his little friend Taleah are teaming up with CureSearch to help raise money for Childhood Cancer. They have launched their own website for their cause and you can find out more about these two little cuties by going to their Together for a Cure website.
Since Chase’s diagnosis hit us all quite suddenly and by surprise, I want to do my part by spreading the word about this amazing cause. Dani and her family have been steadily working to raise money for Childhood Cancer since Chase was diagnosed. They have done everything from lemonade stands to 100 mile bike rides. I am so proud of them.
This week is a Miche Bag Fundraiser that 100% of the proceeds will be donated to CureSearch. Have you heard of Miche bags!?!? If not, you are in for a treat, my friends!Below is a video explaining what Miche bags are, and in my opinion, these purses are BRILLIANT! Basically, you get a base purse that you love and then the outside shells are interchangeable! So, if you need to change your purse because it doesn’t match, you don’t have to transfer all your stuff over to the other purse, you just change the shell! Watch the video!
What a great idea for MOTHER’S DAY!!
Here are a few of my favorite shells from the fundraiser.
Head over to Together for a Cure 2012 for more information on how to participate in the Miche bags fundraiser or for information about how to donate. No donation is too small!
Thank you so much for posting this. My 8 year old is a cancer survivor and it breaks my heart to see how little funding and research goes towards pediatric cancers, and how hesitant media is to cover the stories. My prayers are with these two families and I now know what I'll be getting for mothers day!
What a great cause! My cousin's 7-year old boy passed away from cancer yesterday, so this hit close to home! The bags are super cute, too.
I have followed your blog for some time now and LOVE IT. My husband and I have found a new love of refinishing things together for our house. Such a fun thing to do together! I remember when you first posted about cute little chase. I am a friend of Taleah's mom but live in Utah county. When I first heard about her, I first thought of Chase. ALL and in St George, and same age. I am so glad these cute kiddies have teamed up together! So great that you feature them on your blog!
