Bravery Beads

These children, and the loved ones who fight alongside them, are the definition of brave, and Children’s Hospital helps them celebrate their courage with Bravery Beads. The necklace and each bead the kids receive validate the many challenges that children with cancer and chronic illnesses go through on their journeys to wellness. The necklace tells the story of what they've been through.
