I was contacted this past week by Elizabeth Joshi from The Global Genes Project. They have started a campaign to help raise awareness of children with rare genetic disorders and you can participate! The 7000 Bracelets for Hope initiative gives denim blue bracelets created by jewelry designers to parents of children with rare genetic disorders as a symbol of hope. I can't think of a better way to use your creative talents than to do something small and powerful by sharing a denim blue bracelet. It's just a bracelet, not a check, which to me is even more meaningful because you're putting your time and your love into something that will bring someone else a little joy. Here is where you can send your denim blue bracelet (the denim blue ribbon is their symbol-jeans and genes, see?):
Nicole Boice at the Children's Rare Disease Network
24701 La Plaza, #201
Dana Point, CA 92629.
