It is with Anthony's kind permission that the website address is published and an offer to help with questions extended. His aim is to supply hats to those suffering hair loss from many medical reasons. I was amazed at the work he's doing and wondered if anyone knows of a similar organisation based in the UK ? A link from Anthony's site is Headhuggers.org another great site with some brilliant knitting, crochet and sewing patterns for hats on - again their worthy work is in helping distribute hats to those suffering hair loss. |
