7,000 Bracelets For Hope
112 jewelry designers, myself included, have joined up with Lori Anderson in supporting the 7,000 Bracelets For Hope project. The Global Genes Project, a children’s rare disease campaign, is collecting bracelets to be sent to families who have a child with a rare disease. Why 7,000 bracelets? Because over 7,000 rare diseases have been identified.
Rare diseases often suffer from an acute lack of funding for research into the causes and treatments of the diseases. This particular project is not a fund-raiser, however, but rather, it’s a way of demonstrating support to families that are facing incredible obstacles in their daily lives. As a play on words, all the bracelets are to be blue jean (gene!) colored. The bracelets will be sent to the families this Christmas.
I’d encourage you to learn more about the Global Genes Project and the Bracelets for Hope Project. Perhaps you would like to support their work to help people suffering from a rare disease.
Blog Hop!
Now for the fun part! Everyone loves a blog hop! All the blogs listed below are participating in the 7,000 Bracelets For Hope Project. Here’s your chance to view 112 blue jean colored bracelets. I guarantee that each one will be unique and wonderful. Enjoy!
