Heart of Hope Bracelet Benefiting the TMA

Kathie Ketels-Lichtig is a jewelry artist who combines her jewelry business with charitable giving to benefit various organizations, including the ALS Association.  Kathy lost her husband, Bill, to ALS in 2005.  She met Cynthia Noonan who was a volunteer with the ALS Association.  Cynthia got TM in November 2007.  To learn more about Cynthia: http://noonansupport.blogspot.com

To honor Cynthia, Kathie created a special bracelet that could be sold to friends and family to help defray some of her medical expenses.  True to her generous spirit, when Kathie offered her the bracelet and the proposal for help, Cynthia quickly responded, “I know people want to help and it is truly an honor to have someone create something to help with what you’re going through. There are others who don’t have as much as I do.  So…I think we should be donating the proceeds to the TM Association.”

The Heart of Hope bracelet benefiting The Transverse Myelitis Association is hand-crafted using beautiful 6mm Swarovski® crystals in shades of olive, amber, amethyst and persimmon.  Each bracelet is finished with sterling silver COURAGE and awareness ribbon charms.  The fold-over, magnetic heart clasp assures a secure closure.  While the magnet is not very powerful, please check with your physician if you are pregnant or have a pacemaker!  The copyrighted design was inspired by Cynthia’s love of fall colors and her courage and determination as she adjusts to life with TM.  In Cynthia’s honor, $25 of the purchase price of each piece will be donated to The Transverse Myelitis Association in your name and is tax deductible.
