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

    Hello Jenny, Don't faint! It's Pam from sunny South Africa. Hope you have a fantastic weekend in Blackpool.
    I wish you and your whole family the most fantastic 2010! and happy knitting!
    I am new to blogging and technologically challenged so hope this works!
    We had a great Christmas with all the Cape Town fandamilie... picknicked at Kirstenbosch Gardens which was glorious. Thousands of people choose this option for Christmas Day and the weather was stunning.No washing up! Glorious surroundings.. everyone relaxing and enjoying themselves and my gorgeous grandchild Stone's first Xmas (his suit is so cute!)
    It's incredible to think that it's almost the end of January already!
    My New Years Resolutions...if you can call them that... is to stay positive and to be grateful for what I have. It is fantastic to hear your amazing positivity despite all that you have been through.
    What I know is that Time is the New Year's bountiful blessing....
    365 bright mornings and starlit evenings
    52 promising weeks
    12 transformative months full of beautiful possibilities
    4 splendid seasons
    A simply abundant year ahead to be savoured and enjoyed.
    It's up to each one of us to make the most of it and I know you will. Love Pam
