Brenners had a Beads of Courage celebration to introduce our new hospital bead. Julia was also given a special bead by our friend Katye from Kisses for Kate. They each have one of the beads on their string and it reminds Katye to pray for Julia...
It was a fun day for the kids with lots of cool bead stations. They got to weigh and measure...
They were each able to design their own dream bead that an artisan will make into a bead just for them!
There is also a new sibling bead sponsored by Macy's...
Our precious friend Rima was the guest speaker sharing her story with the crowd. She is battling aggressive ALL with PH+chromosome. Last winter she suffered a near fatal bout of meningitis which caused her to have a stroke leaving half her body paralyzed. She has fought back and by the healing grace of God is still here with us today and has made remarkable strides through rehab.
Krispy Kreme brought yummy doughnuts the kids got to decorate themselves...
The Beads of Courage program put together a holiday video this year. Here is the picture we sent. You can watch it here. (Julia is at min 6:06)
Thank you Beads of Courage and all your sponsors for everything you do to recognizing the unbelievable bravery of our little warriors. You are doing so much to make their battles a little easier and reminding each of them just how very strong they are inside and how proud we are of them.
