There are so many bracelets out there that stand for so many causes but here are two of mine that are especially dear to my heart...
'Not another moment lost to seizures' is the Epilepsy Foundation's slogan. My little 7 yr. old nephew has epilepsy and what a terrifying experience that has been for our family, especially for my brother and sister in law. My nephew gave me this bracelet and that moment he handed it me was one of the most heart touching experiences for me. I love him so much.
A few months ago I stumbled across a blog called Don't Waste Your Cancer. It's the story of a 27 year old wife and mother named Libby who was diagnosed with lymphoma back in July of 2010. Her blog is the story of her journey as she battles this disease. Though I have never met her in person, I have grown to really care for her family as I have followed their journey over the past several months. My 'Team Libby' bracelet is in support of her fight to beat lymphoma.

My 7 year old grandson also has seizures -- a result of a bout of meningitis when he was 6 months old. It certainly is heart-breaking!
Misty- what touching stories! I love the lighting and background of this shot! Very well done! The colors really drew me in from the thumbnail.
A great photograph to match your heart-felt post. Best to your nephew and to Libby too....
What fabulous causes to wear on your heart (well in this case, on your wrists lol)...I have tons of these too...my thoughts and prayers go out to your nephew...I have a good friend who's daughter is an epileptic and it is not fun!

Beautiful and touching post. I have some of these bracelets as well. Some I like because of their colour but there are a couple that have special meaning due to friends and family. Thanks so much for sharing your picture and stories. All the best to your nephew and Libby.
