NORWICH – In June, three young girls set up a temporary tattoo stand in hopes to raise money for the Chenango Health Network.

This program helps Chenango County women who are diagnosed with breast cancer and cannot afford treatment, and it helps women who are diagnosed with a gynecological cancer. According to their mother, Alicia Lein, the girls wanted to do a temporary tattoo stand and donate the money raised to people in need. “We gave them a few options and of course they chose to follow in their dad’s footsteps [local tattoo artist Brett Lein].”

Madison Murphy, 8, Julia Lein, 4, and Josslyn Lein, 3 were very excited to participate in the fundraiser and be able to help those in the community.

Cost per tattoo was $1, but many who stopped by offered to donate more to the cause, or get multiple tattoos.

Tattoos ranged from princesses, superheroes, phrases, stars, and various other choices, including pink ribbons.

Brett Lein tattoos pink ribbons in October – and has for years – and all of the proceeds are donated to the same program with the Chenango Health Network.
