Free Fingers by Nina Wexler was recently touted on Daily Candy. Nina, a breast cancer survivor, got through her various treatments by knitting, lots of knitting. While she was doing this she struck upon an idea to raise awareness and money with her knitted handwarmers.
Currently she has sponsors that supply yarn and needles to she and her volunteers. The handwarmer mitts that they produce are sold through Blue and Cream online with 100% of the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
It was heartwarming to see how one person was inspired to create something that would help others while she herself was in need of help. I hope all of us can aspire to do that in our own way, in our own corner of the world.
