Founder of Breast Friends Forever Corinna Gordon Designs Beautiful Jewelry to Help Breast Cancer Patients.

Corinna Gordon spends hours collecting healthy, organic fruits and vegetables in Santa Barbara’s famous Saturday morning Farmers market with her volunteers. I had the pleasure of joining her as she cheerfully and tirelessly asks each stand owner if they would participate in donating a few fresh herbs and vegetables to cancer patients recuperating from surgery or in chemotherapy.

She knows what each patient needs and carefully picks foods that will not upset their stomach if they are going through chemotherapy. She would know, she has been through it. She gathers bundles of fresh, beautiful flowers to adorn The Breast Cancer Resource Center of Santa Barbara front lobby for the patients who come in free Reiki Tuesdays.

After experiencing the pain of feeling helpless across the country as my sweet family friend recuperated from a double mastectomy, I was anxious to help others with this too common cancer. Breast cancer affects 1 out of every 3 women and men in America. Devastating. I needed to do something to help.

I researched the local paper and found a great article in The Independent about Corinna Gordon. All she was asking was for volunteers for every day simple chores…like picking up the leaves, or delivering dry cleaning maybe an hour a day. We met to discuss how I could support her.

I found Corinna’s attitude is full of life, and  bubbling with ideas.  A portion of her gorgeous jewelry designs going towards the Resource Center. She has been participating to make a difference for the patients in Santa Barbara through the Resource Center as she delivers fresh bundles of parsley, lettuce, cucumbers, plums and adornments door to door on Saturday through her founded organization Breast Friends Forever.

Her future plans include a BFF website and farm sponsors links to appreciate the support from the local farmers who have graciously donated.

When you buy from Corinna’s ‘Splenderella’ Collection you are also helping to support the recovering patients of Breast Cancer, helping them get back on their feet and enjoy a life again.

Corinna was raised on her father’s estate in England’s Lake District. After studying at University in Florence, she traveled the world seeking the perfect outlet for her creative talents. After success as an artist, both in watercolors and her unique three dimensional portraits “Miniature Lifestyles” (click here for more information and photographs), she moved to California. After surviving breast cancer, she became an acclaimed interior designer (see www.corinnagordon.com). Her clients have included Kirk Douglas, Marcus Allen, Dr. Dre, William Randolph Hearst II, Dame Anita Roddick and The Biltmore Salon & Spa, and the $50 million Montecito home that was later purchased by Oprah.
