Some of you who know me, know that I begin each torch session by making two purple hearts and two butterflies for Beads of Courage. I'm very pleased to say that this week, I will be sending in to Beads of Courage: 160 Purple Hearts and 153 Butterflies. The purple hearts go to the children who have finished their treatments. The butterflies are given to parents who have lost a child. Here is a video I found on UTube that shows how the beads are used. Get out the kleenex. You are probably going to need more than one when you see the courage of these children.
This blog is about beads, people who make beads, my life, my dog, my friends.
Oh Mallory! I haven't watched the video yet because I know I will be crying. You are so wonderful and a role-model for all of us who need to participate more fully in this wonderful project for the kids.
