What are Bravery Beads ?
TM
Bravery Beads allow children with life
threatening illnesses to collect special
beads to commemorate each procedure or
event throughout their treatment.
TM
Why Bravery BeadsTM?
It helps families be "Brave" and gives young
patients a tangible way to tell their story.
Long hospital stays are
boring, lonely and sad.
Children with long term
illnesses react both physically
and emotionally.
The collection of Bravery
Beads is a creative outlet that
represents their unique
journey and their courage.
Who can participate?
The Bravery Beads Program
is perfectly designed for
Children's Hospitals,
Pediatric Clinics,
Camps
and Foundations
who support these
brave children!

Bravery Beads Program:

" ...what a difference your Bravery Beads Program is
making at our hospital. Imagine kids being excited
about getting poked so they can add beads to their
necklaces. Who would have ever thought? ..."
Michelle O'Boyle, RN, BSN, CPON
Kids Cancer Foundation
Palm Beach, FL
"...my daughter always looked forward to getting certain beads
and would be sure to "remind me" if any were forgotten!
Whenever we would go in to the hospital she would ask me, "Do I
get a dolphin?" (the bead for accessing her port). It was fun for
her and a great way to pass the time while waiting for treatment
or while inpatient.
Now, 10 years later, when she sees her string of beads, I tell her
how "Brave" she was, is and can be!..."
Sandy Erb
Mother of a Childhood Cancer Survivor
"Our kids love the beads! The program gives
them something to look forward to when they
come in for procedures..."
Amanda Holder, CLS
