Tip Toe2
 

Hello everyone I hope this post finds you all doing well. I posted a thread on here almost 2 years ago about sending another Tip Toe off. But shortly after my post I got a right wrist drop and was unable to do so. Some of you might remember and for those who don’t know “Tip Toe” is a Chinese Hamster Beanie Baby and is/was a mascot for this website as the Miracle drug Herceptin is derived from Chinese Hamster ovaries. I found my Tip Toe today and would love to start this back up in loving Memory of my Mother Sheila. If anyone is interested message me and I will send her to you she will come with a journal and photo album I mail everything to you and you take pics to put in photo album and write about all the fun she had with you in her journal and then you mail her off to the next her2support.org member who wants to participate. I can’t wait to hear from YOU and get Tip Toe#2 on her journey!!

Hi Jen- Thank you for starting this back up again, it will bring a smile to so many in need! I'm willing to start if no one has reached out. Let me know, would be so excited to meet Tip Toe in person!

Carol Ann - I'm getting Tip Toe and will send off to you next. Need to get some more takers!!

Jen,


I think this is a wonderful idea! Kudos to you! Your mother was a great lady. I had the pleasure of meeting her in San Antonio. She was gracious and brave. Long may her memory be honored!

Re: Tip Toe2
 

Thanks Jessica! Looking forward to it! :)



Keep me posted ... Laurel, would you be interested in welcoming TipToe after me?

Carol Ann,
I can, but I do hope someone newer to our gang wants her. For those who may not know of TipToe and her history here on Her2Support, she was quite the world traveler in her day! She went to a member's home where she was treated to all sorts of pampering and travels. Members (so much more clever and creative than me!) took photos of her at spas getting her claws done, traveling to various sites throughout the world, enjoying new little outfits. It was really entertaining to see the cute photos posted by the members. I cannot even figure how to post a photo on this site, but those gals sure did! TipToe made merry among us brightening our posts with some old fashioned fun and served to solidify our camaraderie. She was a great ambassador for Her2Support.


PS. If someone can instruct me on how to post a photo on this site, please enlighten me! I want to post a photo of my new kitty, Yuki (beautiful and very spoiled already!), but cannot seem to do it!

I am now ready to proceed with this project. After I posted this initially I had a series of life events that stopped me in my tracks. For those of you who don’t know the story of Tip Toe she is a Beanie Baby and a mascot of the website she is a Chinese Hamster who sacrificed her her ovaries for decades to develop a life saving drug in which Herceptin is derived from. I don’t know where the “original Tip Toe is but it’s my goal to continue this tradition. My beloved Mother who was a member of this site enjoyed Tip Toes Company and I would LOVE for you to do the same. Send me a message if you are interested I will send her to you with a notebook and album and then you can send her off to the next participant wanting to continue this tradition.
Love Jenn

Hey gang I just wanted you to know that I have not forgotten about you or the Tiptoe 2 project I was finally able to take her to the cemetery where she got to spend time with our beloved member and friend Sheila. As soon as I can get a job going I will be able to buy a photo album and journal so everyone that wants her to visit can add pictures and document her journey before they pass her off to the next survivor. Thanks for your patience and let me know if you’re interested.

Ahhh I found the thread for Tip Toe. He was in the bassinet when my two miracle children were born.

Re: Tip Toe2
 

For those of you who are wondering about TipToe and if she ever began her rounds I have sad news.

Jen passed away on New Years Eve 2021. I only know it was something sudden, but do not have any details. She is now RIP with her precious mother Sheila.

Re: Tip Toe2
 

Very sorry to hear of this.

TipToe spent time with me in Florida in 2013. After that, Pat B took her to the Kentucky Derby
