KNOTS AND ARROWS: Bracelets Making A Big Difference
Thank you Becca for being an I CAN HERO!
On September 8, 2014, Becca was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Dad, (that’s me) is also a young adult cancer survivor. For those of you who know Becca, you know how brave and beautiful her soul is. From day one of her Leukemia Diagnosis, down to her very last few days of treatment (November 13, 2016), Becca has been on a mission. Her mission has always been to promote awareness and raise funds for Childhood Cancer Research. Becca is currently in remission and is determined to make a difference. Childhood Cancer is a cause that will forever be near and dear to our hearts.
One thing we quickly learned on Becca’s cancer journey is that fundraising for a cause is HARD! Anyone who has ever run a fundraiser knows just how exhausing, frustrating and emotionally draining it can be. Over the last two years we have poured a lot of time and effort into raising funds for research, sometimes yielding very little reward. Any time Becca would try to raise funds for Childhood Cancer Research, she would end up disappointed. Her tender little heart just couldn’t understand why money wasn’t pouring in for her cause. As her Dad, I would often remind her that every dollar raised would make a difference.
Becca has always been a go big or go home kind of girl. With that said, she came up with the idea to start a company that gives back. The customer would “get” and the company would do the “giving”. Becca’s idea coupled with a lot of hard work and determination, turned into a company called Knots and Arrows. Becca’s mom came up with the company name and the idea of selling bracelets. Becca and I have accomplished the rest and will be running Knots and Arrows together.
