cards to fund pancreatic cancer research

In March 2007, my mother died from pancreatic cancer, a year after diagnosis. It was an incredible year and I was with my mother when she died. She was very fortunate to get excellent care including the whipple (her entire pancreas was removed) and chemo that worked for about 6 months. In that time, she absolutely thrived. I think it is important to think about your loved ones as living rather than dying. Anyway, she was a watercolor artist and left an incredible legacy behind. She was also an active correspondent with people all over the world and starting making cards for herself. In the last few years of her life, she helped me get started reproducing her watercolors into notecards for the purpose of funding pancreatic cancer research with the profits. I have just launched the endeavor and hope that you'll consider looking at it. It's www.yscards.com. Pancreatic cancer just doesn't get enough research funding, but as those of us involved with people who struggle with this tiger of cancers, the research needs attention. Thanks.
