The Lucet and an Idea. Let me know what you think, please.

I'm getting ready for a show in two weeks, so
rather than stress about it,
I pulled out my lucet today and made cords.
I made some of these cords today.
Some, I had made earlier.

Using different fibers, you make different kinds of cords.
As a personal taste,
I have found that I like to wear my lucet cords in groups.
I used thinner yarns to make these cords.
This group of cords looks very dainty when worn.
 This is my favorite grouping of cords!  I wear these frequently rather than a scarf or necklace.
I made this cord using leather.  I added my special bead to the cord!
These are some of the cords from the collage.  Put them together and you have a nice scarf to wear.
All right.  You get the picture.

Now, here's my idea.
I would like to raise funds to donate to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.
I would like to sell these cords for $5 with 100% of the funds going to the MMRF.
Now here are my questions
1) Do you think these cords would be something people might like to purchase?
2) Do you think $5 per cord is reasonable?
Please let me know what you think. 
I would like to find some way to help raise monies to help eradicate this cancer.
There has been so much research done in the 7 years since my husband died from this disease.
New medications have become available, and Jenny is benefiting from them.
I'd like to help somehow.
Let me know what you think.
This is very important to me.
Thank you.

Funding Multiple Myeloma Research

This is taken from my son's Facebook post about the multiple myeloma run he participates in to raise funds for research for that disease. I won't add any more. I think Nick says it the best.

Ok, it is my time to ask for your help. I started a fund raising website through the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation website. I am running a 5k to raise money for the MMRF. As you know, I lost my father to Multiple Myeloma, and in a weird twist of fate, my sister Jenny K Hoffman now has Multiple Myeloma. So, i...f you have any extra cash, "coin," "bank," "bread," "skrilla," "Hamilton's," (or whatever it is the kids are saying these days), please sponsor me in the 5k by following the link attached. Or if you are feeling real ambitious, there is a link where you can sign up for the 5k and you can run along side with me. Or if you are in shape you can pass me by and watch me barely cross the finish line. Thank you in advance for your support. And you will get tired of seeing me post this link.
