Jewelry Designer Susan Fiedler Launches Bold "F Cancer" Sterling Silver Pendant to Raise Funds and Awareness for Cancer Causes 

A Sassy, Honest Collection That Marries Elegant Artistry with a Rallying Cry for Courage and Humour in the Face of Cancer

Vernon, British Columbia, Canada (Syeelhwh Nation) — Susan Fiedler’s new sterling silver pendants are striking a chord with a bold statement that is both a protest and a powerful declaration of life. Engraved “embrace life” in a unique heartbeat script on the front and “F CANCER” on the reverse side, these pieces serve as a protective mantra. 

Inspired by a triumphant personal cancer journey, Susan launched the F Cancer Embrace Life initiative in 2008. The mission: to fundraise for patient services and foster an environment of support. This call to arms against cancer has already made a profound impact, raising over $300,000 for organizations like Inspire Health and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada.

Susan Fiedler’s creation is not just jewelry; it's a form of expression and therapy. "I believe that to face the big battles, we need big words. Living with cancer requires bravery, self-awareness, and that secret source of power—a sense of humour," says Susan. 

Quotes for Press:

"Susan is a one of a kind. Her ability to mend her art and vision with such a powerful message is astonishing. Her passion is palpable and clearly resonates through her timeless pieces and genuine commitment to building a better world." remarks Ryan O'Quinn, Director of Business Development & Advancement of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada

Ed Robertson of Barenaked Ladies adds, "F Cancer? I couldn't agree more! I wear the bracelet in honour of my mother, who I lost to lung cancer. We all have a reason—a relative, a friend, a co-worker. I'm tired of this F*ing disease."

Available now, the pendants start at $125 with four chain lengths and styles. Also available, the original “fuck cancer” sterling silver bracelet which comes in three sizes starting at $185, and a copper version beginning at $75.

As the holidays approach, give the gift of strength and solidarity. These pieces are more than accessories; they're a rally cry, a hug, a laugh—a steadfast companion on the journey of life. Find the full collection in time for Christmas at Susanfiedler.com
