In case you haven’t heard, The Side-Out Foundation is planning something big and it involves communities in Virginia and plenty of origami cranes.
To honor the 150,000 women living with stage 4 breast cancer in the U.S., Side-Out is reaching out to individuals in the Vienna / Oakton, VA footprint to help fold 150,000 origami cranes. Together, we know we can do something special with this project. A total of 150,000 cranes may seem like an overwhelming number, but all we need is for 1,500 people to fold 100 cranes and the project is complete!
You may be asking yourself, “Why origami cranes?”. Origami cranes have a rich and honored tradition in Japanese culture and symbolize hope and healing. It is believed that 1,000 cranes equals a wish and our wish is for all stage 4 cancer patients to live long and fruitful lives.
