About Me

My name is Jenny and this is my blog. My life was changed forever on the fateful day of 31st March 2004, the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I know that there are so many people who are touched by cancer, I am not rich I cannot find a cure but I can knit... So I decided I would like to try and knit the longest pink scarf in the world. I started the Jenny Chant Appeal to help with education and support for sufferers and their families. Since the inception so many things have happened. One thing that I was not prepared for was being diagnosed with cancer for the 3rd time. In August 2008 I was told that I had lip cancer and that I needed to have life saving surgery in case it spread to the lymph nodes in my neck. I am not a vain person but when I saw the scar it made me weep... I now could not hide from my brushes with death. On to my final words of wisdom: my only advice to men and women is always go for check-ups regularly (and inspect yourself), never lose faith and always try to be positive. Jenny

Website and things

After a long gap in sending the newsletter, I got myself in gear and we wrote it and then had the long task of sending the newsletter out.  This was after all the computers and printer had the usual issues.  Why do we have them I keep asking myself.  All I wanted to do was contact all the lovely knitters and tell them about how far we had gotten but it always seems to take so long.

I was invited to go on holiday with my Son to the Isle of Lewis, but I still had not finished the task of sending the letters out so I gathered my son and family and we got the job done really quickly.  So some of you may have already received a newsletter stamped from the Isle of Lewis.

The website is still a problem but hopefully it is OK.

And only still another 50 letters to send out!  And I still wanted to knit today.

Love Jenny
