I'm doing something bold here to support a cause dear to my heart. I'm offering up a tatted lace doily that I made for my mom. In 1999, I lost my mom to complications due to multiple sclerosis (MS). She had lived with MS for 25 years and was only 54 years old when she died. The doily I made her returned to my possession at that time and I've decided that it's time to bring it out of storage.
I am raising money for an event called Walk MS. It supports the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and will help fund research to find a cure so nobody else has to lose their mom to this horrible disease. For every $1 donation to my fundraising efforts, your name will be entered into a drawing to win this doily ($5 donation puts your name in the drawing 5 times). I will draw the winning name on May 1, 2013. Donations can be made online, delivered to me in person, or mailed to the National MS Society (address below).
Thank you for anything you are able to give. Giving up this keepsake will be worth it if it brings us closer to finding a cure.

(Please make sure you include a note that says "Karen Tapahe, Walk MS" so the money is credited to the right place)
The doily is approximately 8.5 inches across and tatted in peach colored cotton thread. This was one of the first doilies I ever tatted.
