Auction To Help My Friend Kathleen Beat Cancer.

Written by mw

Please help my friend Kathleen beat cancer by bidding on art, collectibles, dining, services, workshops and more, all donated by friends & family for this auction–including a couple of my artworks. The images shown are just a few of the over 60 things available. And please share this post with anyone who may be interested in supporting a worthy cause, as Kathleen has recently been diagnosed with a second cancer.

All proceeds will go toward Kathleen’s high insurance deductibles and treatments not covered by insurance.

Kathleen is a talented, wonderful, caring person and I’m happy to call her my friend. She has been a longtime advocate and activist for a more equitable healthcare system. She believes that all of us deserve healthcare that gives us equal access to the care we need. Kathleen believes through continued activism we can achieve that goal.

Just a few of the over 60 things available in this auction.
