Bracelet of Hope

Bishop Mac Dance-a-thon

On Friday, December 4th, 2009, the Celtics Without Borders club at Guelph's Bishop Macdonell Catholic High School held a dance-a-thon to raise funds for the Bracelet of Hope Campaign. Approximately 50 students danced for 12 straight hours and raised more than $6,000!!! This was the fourth annual dance-a-thon at BM. Between these events and many others the students have run, BM has raised more than $30,000 for Bracelet of Hope since the campaign was first launched late 2005.

Picture that as what it truly represents:

40 HIV positive people in Lesotho kept alive for four years on ARV's at the Tsepong Clinic in Lesotho.

That's 40 families who had the benefit of a healthy mother this past four years, rather than dealing with life without her.  What a gift to give, what a difference to make!
