ADK Relay Team offers cancer awareness bracelets
|
The unique bracelets are all sterling silver and Swarovski crystals and/or pearls. They are made to fit, using cancer awareness colors. Head and neck cancer is symbolized by red and white; brain tumor is black diamond; lymphoma is red or green; pancreatic or general cancer awareness is purple and breast cancer is symbolized by pink, using Siam crystals and pearls.
Nancy McNeal constructs all the bracelets, as the project evolved from the stretch bracelets a few years back. She and her sister, Carole Cathcart, are both actively involved and have felt the effects of the deadly disease.
?I?ve lost family and friends that I love and care about. We can?t always fix everything, but we can help. This is just a small way that I can make a difference. It?s important to me, because it?s something that matters to the entire population,? said McNeal.
Response to the bracelets have been great, with over 70 already on order. They sell for $30, with $23 going to the Relay for Life effort. The remaining $7 goes for the cost of components. The Warren County Relay for Life event has been scheduled for June 2 at the Warren County Middle School.
Anyone wishing to place an order or if your have questions, contact McNeal at 686-2044 or e-mail her at mcneal/[email protected]
