The artwork will be donated to The Child Cancer Foundation and auctioned off, with all proceeds going to support the Beads of Courage program in New Zealand.
Beads of Courage is designed to support and strengthen the protective resources in children coping with serious illness. Through the program, children tell their story using colourful beads as meaningful symbols of courage that commemorate milestones achieved along their unique treatment path.
The New Zealand Glass Bead Artists donate one of a kind, handmade beads to the programme including purple hearts to represent the end of treatment and butterfly beads that are given to every parent who has experienced the loss of their child.
Every bead tells a story of strength, honour and hope.
