Crafters pooling creativity to raise research dollars for currently incurable childhood onset diseas

Online, October 15, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Joanna Redington, homeschooling mother of 2, architect, and blogger, is reaching out to the generous spirits of crafty and creative people to donate handmade Christmas cards. Cards will be sold and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Cure Tay-Sachs Foundation.

Participants are encouraged to include their name or website url on the cards. Participants will receive a link on the Hope For Gavin website. For more information go to http://www.johwey.com/2009/10/12/hope-for-gavin/

Joanna's 3-year old nephew, Gavin, was recently diagnosed with Tay-Sachs and his loss of basic motor skills has been heartbreaking. He recently had surgery to insert a feeding tube because he has lost the ability to feed himself.

Deadline for card submission is November 12th, 2009. Cards will be sold online. Details of card pricing and online sales are still being organized.
