One of my relatives is a nurse working in an English hospital. I had previously told her about Joyce's ChemoCap program at the Allen Senior Center. She noted that such a program would be of interest in her hospital and that many volunteer ladies would be glad to use their knitting skills on ChemoCaps. With the help of the Senior Center "ChemoCap Girls", ChemoCap photos, knitting instructions and an actual ChemoCap were sent to England.
Well, a ChemoCap program is up and running in England. ChemoCaps have already been donated to users, and it looks like the program will expand.
A portion of my relative's latest letter reads :
".......................I enclose a photo of our ChemoCaps. Sorry to be so slow in producing some finished results, but here they are, and hope they meet with your approval. My "Ladies" have been very enthusiastic and have produced more than the photo shows. The Chemocaps go to the local Cancer Support Group and to the local Hospice..........................."
She also sent warmest regards to "you dear knitters".
Congratulations to all the Girls involved in the Senior Center program. It appears that an extraordinary, wonderful idea is going to be an international success.
