I want to help raise funds for ALS research and so hope to create some kind of jewelry that can be sold by the Les Turner Foundation ( here in Illinois ) and maybe others too. Like many of you, I wear my silicone bracelet ( Mine says "Fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease ". ) all the time. ( I only take it off when I shower. ) Since I want to wear SOMETHING like this for many years to come ( until a cure is available ), I want to design something "nicer" than this red silicone that is too big for my tiny wrist. Also, I thought it would be nice to wear a "remembrance" of my father's fight...I'm talking FUTURE of course, since Dad is still with us, thank God. Maybe other CALS would like to wear something too, that both reminds them of their lost loved one AND the fight for an ALS cure. ? I will be meeting with a jeweler friend who has made custom pieces for me in the past, and would like to solicit ideas for what kind of jewelry other might like to have. ( If you were to purchase something like this to help fund research. ) A bracelet? Pendant? Charm or a watch? What would you want it to say?
I bought some stones that are my dad's birth stone and may incorporate them into a bracelet, pendant or ring. What kind of engraving/words I may have put on it, or a charm/tag hanging from it I do not know yet. I just want to do SOMETHING to HELP in the fight against this horrid beast of a disease that is taking my father from me. The pain is so great that I need to focus instead on the "something" I CAN do and NOT on what is happening that I cannot change.
