Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
I remember reading awhile back that Tip Toe was MIA. Does anyone know if she was ever located. I found a replacement AKA Tip Toe2 and would love to send her off so she can give support and encouragement to other her2 BC survivors!!

When I saw your headline, I thought Tippy was found!! Not sure where she is. Would be incredible to locate and remember all who shared...

This is the first I have heard of this; color me intrigued. I'm off to search the archives.

Tracy----I hope you can figure out who last had her. So many of us passed her around and posted pics. Added things to her outfit. Wrote notes in her journal. From about 8-9 years ago. Jen who started this thread is the daughter of Sheila, RIP. Put the Rotties on the trail!!!

To my knowledge she is still MIA I have been searching for YEARS for a "Tip Toe2" now that I have finally found her twin and I am ready to send her traveling. Please help me to send her too. Send me a message if you are interested!!

For those of you who don't know Tip Toe (it's a beanie baby a Chinese hamster who sacrificed her ovaries (to discover Herceptin) to help you fight her2+ cancer..

Once I get Tip Toe2 from my friend I am going to write a poem and send her off with her own photo album and a journal for whoever wishes to participate. This idea was started by our very own Pink Girl. I think this is such a great idea and in honor of my beloved Mother Sheila who also shared and spent time with Tip Toe I would love to see it kept going. When I am able to get everything together I will let you know and you can message me your address if you wish to participate. With love- Jen

The last time I saw Tippy was when I sent her on her way to visit Sheila. By this time her suitcase was huge so I just sent Tip with her reading glasses. Sheila and Chrissy were both having a rough time so I sent the Tipster. I am pretty sure that Sheila sent her on to Chrissy. That's where I think she is ... somewhere in Chrissy's house. Somewhere in my house is all her belongings, Tex the Tykerb tiger and the chicken with no name.

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
I don't think Tip Toe was at my Mother Sheila's house when Mom earned her wings in December 2012. I called my Stepdad and left a message I will let you know when I hear back from him.

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
I'm pretty sure your mom sent her to Chrissy.

Jen 06-10-2016 07:18 PM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Tip Toe wasn't with any of our Mom's possessions given to us by our Stepdad..

I also think Sheila sent Tippy on to Chrissy.

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
If anyone has Chris' email or phone please pm me and I'll contact her hubby. Or f you have an address I'll send a note. I'm sure tipster would enjoy another road trip to help new friends.

In 2011, I think it was Pink Girl, sent me TipToe in Naples FL. Tippy went to the beach and saw the sights (with her reading glasses which I tinted for the sun). I hand delivered her to PatB who was going to take Tippy to the Kentucky Derby. I have since lost track of PatB...

I have Tip Toe2 if anyone wants to restart this..

I am totally intrigued and confused by all of this! Somebody fill me in and I will gladly join in. :)

Suzan, I'm going to look for her steamer trunk and see who last had the journal. What you said about PatB and the Kentucky Derby is ringing a bell.

Jen 06-15-2016 04:38 PM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
I have Tip Toe2. I have to get her a photo album, journal and a few small accessories and she will be ready to ship off to a her2 survivor who wishes to participate. Send me a private message if you wish to get this started back up. Sincerely - Jen

Let's get TipToe 2 traveling again! I'll participate - sending you my address in PM.

Carol Ann 06-16-2016 10:23 AM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
I sent mine, too. :)

Grinning from ear to ear to hear the tiptoe trail light up again! Hope she turns up and hits the road again. If not, Tiptoe 2 can start a new trail. She was a stylish little lady!

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
We had so much fun with the original Tiptoe. She traveled all around and brought cheer to everyone and we followed her on her own thread as I recall. She was a great diversion to me during chemo even tho she never came to my house. It seems fitting that there is a Tiptoe 2 that is ready to start her own journey. I vote that Tiptoe 2 starts her journey and tells us how the trip goes. She will not need TSA clearance since she probably travels in a box with the postal department. Thanks Jen for finding the second mascot. I know that she will be loved by all.

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Hey guys I have not forgotten about this shortly after I started this thread I damaged my radial nerve and have what's called a drop wrist leaving me unable to use my right hand which is my dominant hand. Hopefully with therapy I can regain function and get this going.

Carol Ann 08-15-2016 03:42 PM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Hi Jen!

No worries ... take good care of yourself and Tip Toe! :) Hope you can get some good therapy soon and feel better!!

Carol Ann

Jen 08-16-2016 06:09 PM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Thanks guys for being patient with me on this. I hope to start occupational therapy soon and hopefully gain back function ASAP. It's not too late to let me know if anyone wishes to participate in this send me a message and as soon as I am able to start this going again I will put everyone's name in a bowl and have my daughter pick out the name of the person who will I will send Tip Toe2 first.

Jen 08-16-2016 06:22 PM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Again thank you to everyone wanting to participate and get this started back up. I remember how encouraging and uplift getting to participate in the "original Tip Toes" journeys it was for late Mother Sheila as well as others on here who remember her fondly and I am truly honored to keep this tradition to keep going as soon as I am able.

Jen,

Take care of yourself. I hope you are restored to good function in short order.

StephN 08-31-2016 10:06 PM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Jen, I think it was your mom who got the little glasses for Tiptoe and her travel companion. Everyone contributed something. And there was a Journal that each hostess added something in.

Hope your hand is getting better by now.

MaineRottweilers 09-01-2016 03:36 PM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Ditto on the hopes that you are feeling better by now.

Lol very cute, hope you feel better soon Jen, I'm busy at the moment but will definitely let you know when I have more free time so Tip Toe can come to visit Ireland.:)

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
SCGal,
Did you give Tippy the pink hair extension? Or some other fashion-forward member here?

Thanks for the memories.

Catherine 09-07-2016 06:56 AM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Yes, please start the adventure for Tiptoe II. Her adventures are lots of fun, especially when you might be sidelined by chemo, radiation or surgery. I had invited Tiptoe to come to Oregon back in about 2007. Another friend and I from the site were finally going to meet in person at the state Capitol. We thought the Tipster might want to talk to a few of the legislators. Our plans fell apart when my friends cancer returned and she could not leave the house. We never were able to meet in person and then she passed away.

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Good news my hand/wrist is starting to be functional again. I still need to get a journal and photo album to send her off with.. Is there anything else anyone can think of to send off with Tippy? I have gone through jewelry left to by my late Mom Sheila to send her off with. I remember how much Mom enjoyed visiting with the Original Tip Toe and would very much love to include her (at least in Spirit as well). There is still time for anyone who would like to participate in "Tip Toes Travels" message me your address and when I am able to get everything ready I will draws names and announce the winner of getting Tip Toe2 first..

MaineRottweilers 10-20-2016 04:32 AM

Re: Tip Toe (her2supports) mascot
 
Jen, so glad you are doing better! Tiptoe should travel light, I am sure she will acquire baggage on her travels. Again, so gladd you are well and looking forward to Tippy Travels.
