I became aware of Beads of Courage at the March 2018 Banff Film showings in Tucson, Arizona. I will carry the beads on a future bicycling journey and will eventually write about some experiences I had while carrying them in honor of a young person struggling with a serious illness. A bead will be returned with my note so the young person receiving it is reminded to be strong. I will continue to wear my bead to give hope and honor courage. Want to be involved?
