99 red balloons for a cause!

Yesterday I discovered this tweet by Kimberly

The deal is that “every year for the past three, in september, my mama does a 150 mile bikeride to raise money and awareness for research towards a cure for MS (multiple sclerosis)” and Kimberly decided to stitch 99 air balloons to donate the money from the sales to the fund.

On her blog she asks people to send her sketches of hot air balloons that she can stitch and since I think this is a wonderful project for a greate cause I just drew one that I’ll send her to this address:

kimberly scola/chez-sucre-chez, 5074 glen iris avenue, los angeles, CA 90041

I really feel that I had to spread the word here and I ask you to participate as well. Please check out her blog for further information.

Kimberly has an awesome Etsy shop where she sells the most adorable cross stitch kits. Do you remember my Home Sweet Home project? One of hers! :-) Just saying.

hi lou, thanks for bringing this great cause to light. I personally know people that have been afflicted by this hideous disease, so I will be forwarding my humble drawings on – and will be forwarding on this post to spread the love – so to speak …
