Quilt for Berry

The news the NFL has been waiting for but did not want to hear came down today.   Eric Berry of the Kansas City Chiefs has Hodgkins Lymphoma.   He was placed on the Non-Football Injury shortly before Thanksgiving for further evaluation of a mass in his chest.  

The doctors are hopeful.   But cancer treatment is never fun.  

We all know I LOVE football.   A good time for me is quilting while watching an NFL game.   We also know I HATE cancer.    Cancer is an evil that must be destroyed.   There are many researchers working towards this end.    Let's give them a hand.  

On the right you can make a donation directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.   Any donation of $10 qualifies you for a memorial block for a quilt.    Let's get enough donations to make at least 1 quilt.   That quilt will then be auctioned off on EBay to raise even more money for cancer research.  

I am thinking something in Chiefs' colors:   Red and White.   Or maybe a football quilt.   Yes they have football field quilts and I have never made one.   Hey, if there are enough donations, I can do 2 quilts (hint, hint).  

Let's do this for Eric Berry and everyone facing off at the line of scrimmage against this horrible disease.
