Lyndon Academy Softball Players Honor Teammate

In recognition of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, our Lyndon Academy Softball team carried specially hand-crafted Terrier-blue beads for Team Beads of Courage. 15 sets of beads were gifted to our Terriers and Coaches by the family of their teammate, Danielle, a survivor of high risk acute lymphoblastic preb-cell leukemia. Additional sets will be sent back to Beads of Courage to be given to children battling cancer, with a card that says “With every swing, throw, and run, we are proud to join our BOC teammate, Danielle, in honoring your treatment journey. We hope this team bead provides you a huge boost of enCOURAGEment.” Children battling cancer collect these beads as they fight their way through the treatment process, receiving a bead with each procedure or milestone they reach. At the end of the journey, these young warriors will have a “String of Strength” they can use to remember and re-tell their unique story of courage. Danielle has the heart and the tenacity of a Terrier, and has battled back this disease. We are thrilled to report that she is in remission, and will be considered cured in May of 2018.
