Luv Your Hat! Hats Off to Wellesley Woman’s Unique Fundraising Effort for Pancreatic Cancer Research
Â
DATELINE: BOSTON, MAâ¦
Two years ago, Sue OâNeilâs life changed forever when her beloved husband of 33 years, Tom OâNeil, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Less than four short months later, Tom died at their Wellesley, MA home.
Â
Struggling to cope with her loss, OâNeil started reading about pancreatic cancer, the deadliest of all major cancers that kills 97% of those afflicted within 5 years, 50% within 6 months. In the US alone, pancreatic cancer kills over 33,000 people each year.
Â
Little did she realize that her reading, and her penchant for hats, would ultimately result in the creation of OâNeilâs newly launched company, luvyourhat LLC, featuring a fun and funky unique line of hats. To honor Tom OâNeilâs memory and help save lives in the future, luvyourhatâs net proceeds will be donated to The Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Cancer Research, the largest private foundation for pancreatic cancer research in the United States.
Â
Luv your hat!
OâNeil and her husbandâs friends held their first fundraiser to fight pancreatic cancer in October, 2007, organizing a golf tournament in Tomâs honor that raised $25,000 for The Lustgarten Foundation.
Â
Two weeks after the tournament, OâNeil found another way to fund research. OâNeil explains, âYou see, I love to wear hats. When I wore them out with Tom, so many people complimented me on my hats that it became a joke between the two of us. Almost a year to the day after I had lost my husband, I wore my sparkle hat again. Three separate women stopped me to say “Luv Your Hat!” I smiled to myself and realized that this was it! I would sell hats and donate a portion of each sale to pancreatic cancer research.â
Â
Luvyourhatsâ stylish hats are made from a lightweight fabric that is textured and covered with sparkle. The cowboy style hat can be shaped as desired and the baseball cap and visor have adjustable Velcro straps. The hats are currently available for purchase online at www.luvyourhat.com, and will soon be appearing at golf pro shops and other retailers as the word spreads about OâNeilâs efforts.
