Ring of Yellow Heart

THE BIGGEST SUPPORT EVENT OF ITS KIND!

We have launched the biggest support event worldwide for children living with cancer – Ring of Yellow Heart. The event was to give Yellow Heart hosts encouragement, hope and support in their cancer treatment journey.

Monty’s yellow heart aims to travel around the world in 365 days.

The Yellow Heart was passed from one child to another within the same and different countries while forming a "good luck" ring.

WHY?

Why in my brain?
It caused me so much pain.
Why in my head?
Perhaps somewhere else instead.
Why in my brain?
We tried a fluid drain.

I just want to walk like you.
I’ve had enough now, haven’t you too?

Poem from Sophie Pollock who lost her battle with cancer in 2007.

What’s the Point?

What’s the point of eyes,
If you’re not here to see?
What’s the point of ears,
If you cannot hear me?
Every sense on my body,
Useless as a broken toy,
What’s the point of beauty,
If you cannot enjoy?
