About Us

Beads Create Hope is a non-profit orginization that I founded because I have lost several great people in my life due to cancer. My goal is to raise money through a fun organization that donates money to the Kids Create Hope Pediatric Cancer Research Fund. I chose beading because it is something I love to do and jewelry is something many people like. Buying our beads makes customers feels good because it gives them the spectacular feeling of conquering cancer while getting beautiful jewelry.

About Madeleine:

Madeleine is an eleven year-old girl in sixth grade. Her hobbies include science olympiads, dancing, ice skating, and beading. She is very kind-hearted and believes very strongly in finding cures for very horrible diseases like cancer and diabetes. She has pet chinchillas named Dusty and Eleanor and a dog named Charlie. Madeleine has an impressive report card (all As). She won a Math Olympiad Award in fourth grade and placed within the top 10th percent of the country. Her favorite subjects are math and science, and she someday hopes to be a marine biologist. She is also an ardent environmentalist. Madeleine has always been generous in donating her own money to sponsor her brother (me) in the Ride For Roswell and has donated her hair for the third time to Locks of Love. I am proud to be her brother!
