Lymphedema Sleeve Company

Posted on: June 29th, 2010 by Erin Kieper
Back in February I met Susan Callison at the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Conference in Atlanta. Sue is a lovely young woman who sought out a solution when she developed lymphedema following her breast cancer treatment. Sue and her husband Rich have taken their experience and brought this innovative line of therapeutic garments to the US. Please take a look and pass it on to those you know who might benefit from such a product. Click on their logo to visit their website.

Great job, Sue & Rich!

Thanks everyone for your feedback on our website. We continue to strive to improve it and make it more user friendly. We think we finally nailed it. We have reduced the number of pages and have links embedded throughout the pages to easily navigate around. We hope you like what you see. We are also adding more images of products to the store. It truly is a work in progress and a great learning experience.

You may need to refresh or reload the home page to see the changes. Let us know what you think. In the coming days we will be adding resources to the blog for easy reference. Check back often.

Rocket Girl, signing off.

Komen Expo & Race for the Cure Update

Posted on: June 7th, 2010 by Erin Kieper

Luna’s Landing participated in the first Komen Expo on Saturday and met a lot of wonderful people picking up their Race t-shirts and visiting the exhibits. It was a fun day even though the sun was shining for the first time in weeks and we were inside the exhibition hall. We raised money for Young Survival Coalition and Cancer Lifeline and met many survivors and friends who were gearing up for the Race on Sunday. Darlene Fanus was the lucky raffle winner!

Rain didn’t dampen the enthusiasm or participation for the Race for the Cure. The rivers of pink took over the Seattle Center and race course for a memorable day and the early count is over $1 million dollars raised for Komen! Way to go Seattle.

My friend Tammie volunteered at the Expo and the Tribute Tent where participants placed pictures and names on a wall in honor and celebration of their loved ones touched by breast cancer. Tammie is a vibrant survivor and also a member of the Seattle YSC Affiliate. She recently cut her curly locks and donated the hair to a program to make wigs for others going through treatment. Way to go Tammie!
