hand knitting caps for cancer patients since 2001
Remember all ChemoCaps must be

all we ask is that you please put a little tag on each ChemoCap that
says:”Heather Spoll No Hair Day Hat Program”

(your first name or name of knitting group)
I love to hear from you with
any questions, suggestions, comments or thoughts that you may have regarding
ChemoCaps.
You may contact me using the contact form to find out where ChemoCaps are needed in your local area.
Children and woman
undergoing chemotherapy or radiation for cancer all over the world would appreciate the this same
program that is so successful in the United States.
You will need to be willing to
donate some time to this project.
Second, make arrangements with
your local hospitals and oncology units for the distribution of chemo caps to
patients.
Be willing to have the chemo
caps sent to you by knitters all over the world for
distribution.
Finally, you need to take the time to thank those knitters who participate.
Why I started Chemocaps
Why I started Chemocaps
My daughter Heather
(age 25 and a great knitter) passed away August 31, 2000.
In
her memory we are knitting and donating hand knit chemo caps to wonderful
hospital oncology inpatient units and hospice programs so that cancer patients
who lose their hair can have a very soft hand knit cap to call their own to
comfort their heads and their souls because they will know someone cared enough
to knit a cap for them.
What can one say but thank you,
which doesn't seem quite enough, but all of you are helping to make a cancer
patient in the oncology unit and hospice program feel more comfortable and
comforted knowing that a knitter cared enough to hand knit a chemo cap for their
head.
