The Sherburne Wheelers ATV Club, Inc. is an organization
that promotes safe riding, encourages conservation and
preservation of riding areas. We establish and maintain our
trail system; and we foster community support.
The Sherburne Wheelers were looking for volunteers to crochet, knit or sew chemo caps. We advertised in local newspapers. Eight months later, 81 people have volunteered in so many ways! Some donated yarn, some donated money to pay for postage to ship yarn or buy yarn, and some printed labels to accompany each chemo cap. The response was overwhelming!
As of May 2010 over 2,900 chemo caps and 100 lap blankets have been collected and donated. They were sent from as far away as Florida and Long Island. Yarn was donated from Pennsylvania. One wonderful lady...Betty Arnister of Long Island, Grandmother of Dara Danyluk (Webmaster and Board Member of the Sherburne Wheelers) has crocheted 350 chemo caps!
