This is the first “thank you for your donation” item for 2009. The bead is made by me and is a pink filigrana glass lampwork bead. The small metal charm is an awareness ribbon.

The ornament hangs on “Femme Fus Pink” ribbon – ready to decorate your wall all year round!

The Portland Race for the Cure has many options – 3K walk, 5K walk, run, timed, untimed, children’s events, and… for those non-runners / non-Portlanders, you can even Sleep In for the Cure!

I have a small photo album set up for the 2009 Femme Fus Beads on our Femme Fus Facebook page. I will also be adding the beads to this site, like last year.

This is a sneak peek. If you see something you gotta have, please email me for details!

We’re back! It has been a very busy year, but we are back and ready (for the most part) for the 2009 Komen Race for the Cure. The site has had an update, we are getting our team assembled, and will have some new 2009 Femme Fus exclusive beads to show you soon.

Thanks to everyone who made our Femme Fus Race for the Cure effort such a success! We will definitely be back next year, and will post news and information on this site periodically throughout the year.

The Portland Oregon Race for the cure is one of the largest in the nation. The race was the 3rd largest in 2007. Our Femme Fus team finished #2 out of 1,196 teams for the 2008 Portland race! That is awesome, and we are so happy about that. We couldn’t have done it without you – THANK YOU!

Meanwhile, there’s lots to check out: free graphics, race day photos, and resources to stay informed about breast cancer.
