7000 Bracelets for Hope

Lori Anderson just hosted a fun blog hop featuring bracelets created for the 7000 Bracelets for Hope project to show support for kids who are suffering from rare diseases and disorders.

"The Global Genes Project (GGP) volunteer team is collecting blue jean/denim inspired bracelets for families living with rare disease, the campaign is called “7,000 Bracelets for Hope.”

To help raise awareness we’re asking 7,000 jewelry designers, volunteers from the craft community and various artists to donate one bracelet to this campaign to show their support for kids living with rare disease, disorders or conditions. These bracelets will then be distributed to participating families in December 2011."

You can still donate a bracelet, visit the website here for complete details.
